Hi, This could be a fungal infection or Contact dermatitis which is being caused by the chafing action of the sanitary towel against skin folds.Contact dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin caused by direct contact with an irritating or allergy-causing substance (irritant or allergen). Irritant dermatitis, the most common type of contact dermatitis, involves inflammation resulting from contact. In some cases, the best treatment is to do nothing to the area.

I have been experiencing rashes in my posterior fold (buttocks). The rash becomes so serious that a crack develops at the top of the fold and the entire area from top to anus is red. I have mild psoriasis that I have been treating for 30-years and assumed that the treatment would be a tar-based creme. This usually quieted the problem down and it seemed to heal.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porphyria_cutanea_tarda “…Typically, patients who are ultimately diagnosed with PCT first seek treatment following the development photosensitivities in the form of blisters and erosions on commonly exposed areas of the skin. This is usually observed in the face, hands, forearms, and lower legs. It heals slowly and with scarring.

I have had a heat rash on my neck, beside the jawline now for 14 years. I have been to a few Dr's who have said "Its just a heat rash, nothing you can do about it". My question, can a heat rash last for this long? Its been in the same place and has never spread. Its definately gets worse in the heat, it itches like crazy.

The patches are often dark reddish-tan in color and skin may appear lighter than surrounding healthy skin and usually associated with hot climates. The most common sites are the back, underarms, upper arms, chest, and neck. Diagnosis is through skin scraping and subsequent examination under a microscope. Treatment consists of over the counter topical anti-fungal medicines. This link may be of help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinea_versicolor Take care and keep us posted.

It usually causes a rash made up of circular patches with raised, red edges that resemble worms. The rash spreads from these edges, often leaving the center clear, giving it a ring shape. Topical antifungal drugs containing miconazole (Daktarin, Micatin & Monistat), clotrimazole (Canesten, Hydrozole), terbinafine (Lamisil), butenafine and tolnaftate (Tinactin), many available without a prescription, are used to clear up the infection.

current bf presents first with frequent and sometimes painful urination, treated with course of antibiotics for bladder infection, got a little better, than returns with dry skin around the head, and sensitivity around urethra a few weeks later. after use of condom breaks out in red rash, although gone by morning . sees doc next day, has some kind of bacterial infection. more antibiotics. has fungal infection i guess since dryness and cracking are a problem on the head.

I visited my doctor twice more for the palm rash, skin redness, and pimples that are still active after 9 weeks. He thinks the palm rash is Raynaud's Phenomena, but I don't think so b/c temperature doesn't change it and there is no other tip discoloration. Muscle aches still. The palm rash comes and goes, depending on whether I am active or where I hold my hands. The rash is the worst when my hands are at my sides while moving. Above my head, the rash nearly goes away.

ive recently been getting red, dry itchy burning skin, and it appears in the same places all the time. in my eyebrows, the bridge of my nose, both my cheeks, and along my jawline on each side. it usually goes away for a while, but it always comes back. i took some pictures today if anyone would like to see them. it looks so horrible this morning that i had to stay home from work. it also goes into my gotee and moustache, turning them both red and burning, and also cause flaking.

Cholinergic urticaria is a subcategory of physical urticaria (aka hives) that is a skin rash brought on by a hypersensitive reaction to body heat. Symptoms follow any stimulus to sweat such as exercise (sometimes called exercise-induced urticaria), heat from the sun (which could also indicate solar urticaria), saunas, hot showers (reaction to water can also indicate water urticaria), spicy foods which may cause an increase in body temperature or even stress due to blushing or anger.

Recognition of the problem, avoidance of precipitating physical stimuli, reduction of stress and anxiety are important factors in medical care. Also, scratching because of dry skin can be reduced with good skin care and emollients. H1 antihistamines are the drugs of choice.'

Hi i am 29 y old male. I have had this nagging itch rash white marks along the base of my penis. I have had this since 2005. But it goes away and comes back...very sporadic. I don't know if this is STD or just skin dryness. But i noticed this after I dated a girl for couple of months. We didn't have intercourse, but did fool around. I have put lotion on it..it works for few hours and becomes dry again. i am not able to find anything online regarding this issue..

I developed a stomach rash in February of 2007 shortly after a viral infection. It consists of tiny red bumps that appear from my chest down to my waistline. At times the rash somewhat clears except for maybe 20-30 bumps. At other times I have 100 or more. They do itch, especially after bathing or swimming. If I scrub them off in the shower then they ooze and get quite sore. It is now July of 2008 and I have continuously had this rash.
