rash

When I get out of the shower after taking a long hot shower, I have noticed that sometimes I have a red rash around my shoulders and chest, and up on to my neck. Sometimes noticable on my face as well. I've had this for a few years now, but never really thought anything of it, since it goes away after a few minutes. It happens after sweating too, and sometimes just when I undergo drastic temperature changes I feel.

afternoon I have a baby with a torso rash. Last night, 4 am crying, checked him out and it was all over his forehead/neck too. Still no fever... do you think it's just Roseola? I gave him 1/2 t. of Benadryl. Thanks!

I had a question about Lmye disease and was trying to figure out where to post it. My children like playing in grass and woods and I recently found out that some other kid got Lyme disease. What can you do to help prevent them from getting Lyme disease?

6 weeks ago my 12 year old daughter woke up with what looked like a rug burn on her cheek. The next morning, there was another spot on her other cheek. Basically, for 6 weeks her face keeps getting new spots. We have seen 2 peditricians and 2 dermatologists. They do not know what it is. She was on Keflex for 10 days, Duricef for 10 days and Cipro for 10 days. We have been using Bactroban ointment continuously until this week when we started using Altabax ointment. Still, no improvement.

my 2 year old toddler gets this rash that appears in different areas of her body it itches. the area gets red then medium size welts llike rash appears. it last for about one hour goes away, then it appears in another area of her body. do you have any suggestions.

It is spreading up my nose and upper lip and further down my chin and on my neck today. Now I feel bumps on the roof of my mouth. Could this be the same thing? I've had a sore throat for 3 weeks and thought it was allergies. I also ate 2 mangos within the last week. Never eaten them before. Someone else posted that they got it days after eating a mango.

Every winter, usually from Nov to March, I get a very itchy rash on my neck and upper chest. The skin gets red and blotchy but isn't thickened and the rash goes away during the summer. I use heavy moisturizers daily, which doesn't seem to help. I've tried covering up the area from the cold (I live in the northeast US) with turtlenecks, scarves, etc., with no change. Dermatologists have checked for scabies (no) and prescribed cortisone cream (didn't help much and thinned the skin a lot).

It was his sixth birthday today and the photos have this rash moving down his face. All parents and children wanted to know what was the matter. The rash has also started to move down his legs. I was advised that antihistamines would not help, but since nothing else has been suggested I will give them a try. Thank you for your interest.

brown hair, and no other rashes in any other areas. I took a picture of the back of my neck (only part of the neck effected), between my breasts and a picture showing under my breasts where I would expect a rash to be, but there is not. I do have dark knees that I thought were a part of the problem, but suspect a whole other issue. But the main problem are these areas, and wearing my hair up or able to wear v-neck, low cut, or even my bathing suit is very embarrassing for me.

About a week ago I noticed two small pimple-looking bumps on the left side of my neck. They have since multiplied and now I have over 10 small red bumps all in that same area. They can be very itchy at times. I have a Dr.

started in the diaper area but didn't quite look like your typical diaper rash, then spread up her body and cover her front and back torso, tons around her neck, armpit, upper inner thigh (groin), and starting to creep one or two on her face and down the arm and leg. this is going on 4+ weeks.

Now, I wonder if this rash is a viral rash as well, which I know to occur in infants and young children. Could this be?

I am on week 6 and have gone back & forth with a rash on my neck, arms and now on my breasts. What I find helpful and putting on baby oil right after I step out of the shower (while wet) air drying and then using a good baby lotion or coca butter lotion. I did have to use some cortizone cream but it was over the counter and did not require me getting a prescription. I had my first labs on Monday and have not got the results but I am very optimistic about them.

Last 2 -3 months I have noticed that his neck, elbow joints and knee joints have rashes and itch very frequently. Sometimes blood is also flowing out of these wounds. Plz can you suggest reasons behind such skin infection and its treatment.

,on the 28th hives apeared on my right underarm and spead to breast. Now just an angry red itchy rash. I did use a new soap, but it's weird it is only there. Has anyone else had a reaction like this? I talked to the Dr. and decided to push through and see what happens next.

I am 43yo male, and recently had US and CT scan of the neck to investigate two swollen lymph nodes which were present for longer than a year in my left neck. Several nodes were found on the jugular(mid) chain, many sub-centimeter and 5 >= 1 CM the largest ones were 2.26, 1.65 and 1.55 CM. They are on both sides of the neck and under my chin as well. Nothing else was found in CTs of abdomen and groin. I have a biopsy scheduled for next month, but have read myself into anxiety attacks.

A few weeks ago I noticed what looks like little skin tags, or colorless raised pimples on the back, left side of my 5 year old's neck. Since then they have spead to behind his ear and up into his scalp, but only on the left side. I've checked him thoroughly, as has the school nurse, and he does not have lice. Some of the bumps are bigger than others and appear to have a little hard core in them. They don't itch or appear to bother him.

on thursday, october 27th, i noticed some itchy red bumps on the inside of my left elbow, which later spread to other areas on my arm, and to my neck, face, ears, and a little on my stomach. i went to a doctor on sunday, and was given some benadryl, and prednisolone. ive been using the medication the way i was told, and ive also been using a 2.5% hydrocortisone itch lotion, and nothing is stopping the itching or making the rash go away.

My son broke out w/a weird rash yesterday, it started on his elbows, knees, and ankels..he also complained of a sore/stiff neck (his head feels heavy) brought him to the doctor she did a strep test and its not that, said its probably viral,he has a swollen tonsil on one side, now he is running a fever. Has anyone else had these symtoms..some have said it could be mono? I just want help for my poor son!

I was diagnosed with genital herpes almost 3 years ago. Been married for 13 years so it was quite a shock for both of us. It first appeared on my bottom. I get regular outbreaks if I don't take medication. Is that normal? Anyway, I'm freaking out about a "rash" that has appeared on the side of my neck! What the hell? Could it be an outbreak on my neck???? It's 95 degrees outside and I'm wearing a TURTLEneck! I feel like such a freak.

it is back again - I have seen reports on the internet about children getting spring rashes but yours is the first I have seen of another adult getting it - have you found any helpful information??? Would be interested in any info. Thanks.

have had a severely itchy rash for about 5 weeks now. It started on my left shin and I thought it was just dry skin, but it turned very itchy and a few days later it appeared on my right side about the belt line but was contained to my right side about the size of an oblong tennis ball. The itching grew more severe and by the time I went to the doctors for the first time I could hardly stand the itch. The doctor gave me a dose of prednizone(sp) and some cream triamcinolone ac lotion .1%.

I recently (about a year ago) had the 2nd of 2 children and am generally a healthy person. I have not been to a doctor yet, due to finances, but i am starting to wonder about this rash i have had for over 2 months now. It is red itchy spots that almost look like a bunch of mosquito bites and itch just the same. It first came up on the insides of my elbows and itches so bad i have multiple scars. Since then it has kept moving around.

I have been unable to prevent the coughing but now find that if after a cough I either deliberately wait before breathing in the symtoms of a blockage are less severe and I can slowly draw breath - a similar situation exists if I conceentrate on breathing through nose instead of mouth. Latterly (past week) I have developed a rash on my chin which today has spread to my neck - may not be connected but it is red slightly flaky and a little itchy.

In 2007, I was diagnosed with "a textbook case" of shingles without a rash. I'd endured two days of burning pain in my right ear, neck, jaw, shoulder, which sometimes radiated into my back. Right side facial paralysis was progressive. I developed an awful taste in my mouth. My hearing was getting worse in that ear..sounds were distorted and amplified and caused pain. I thought I had a very bad ear infection. I'd thought I'd slept in a bad position and had a stiff neck.

I recently went to the doctor to find out that I had mono and strep throat. The doctor had given me amoxicillin which is the reason I had to change doctors. Not only did the amoxicillin make my throat close up to the point where I could barely breath, I broke out in "the rash from hell" from head to toe. I am currently on steroids and benadryl but both seem to not be doing anything because my rash gets worse every day.

My bet is on mild allergic reaction just because of your description of the rash, and if that's ruled out then heat rash. Generally real heat rash is a form of excoriation on the skin and requires some amount of friction in an area of excessive sweating, usually the bumps are raised up. Heat rash appears as more "pimple" or "blister" like.

I am 5 weeks pregnant. i have a rash that started on my neck in one spot. It is very itchy it spreaded from my chest to pantyline.They are not in clusters they just are more like bites but it is spreading . the doctor told me to take benadryl it comforts me for about 8 to 10 hours. I just wanted to know if this was common. This is my fourth pregnancy and i have never experienced anything like this.
