Avatar n tn hey, i am uncircumcised and i have a rash around the head of my penis. it doesn't hurt or it and the rash isn't raised off of the skin. i'm unsure what it is, so i was wondering if you guys knew. another problem i have is around the tip of my penis i have these little red dots. they're not bumps (raised off skin) but they're there. anyway, i know the description is vague, but i don't know how else to describe it. i also wanted to ask about some cream i have.

Avatar f tn I have had poison oak before that had spread all over my chest, arms, legs, and fingers. However, I got the rash again, but now it is on my upper thighs, buttocks, and very close to my vaginal area. I am extremely worried that it will spread and get worse like it did before. I am very close to the ocean and I was told that going into the salt water helps dry out the rash. I have only had it for one day, but it is very large and always itching.
Avatar n tn I used to be allergic to poison oak but recently have been going on a lot of hikes through poison oak and haven't had any rashes or reactions at all. Just a little before i had noticed the itchiness i had changed before surfing using a towel that may had been in contact with poison oak. I dont see why i would only get it on my penis area though. I'm not sure if i should trust my assumption but like a said, no one has ever touched my shaft but me! whats with that?!
Avatar n tn I got a really bad case of poison oak two years ago, which went systemic, and I had to take prednisone for quite a while before it got better. Ever since then, if I eat anything with mangos in it, or sweetened with mango juice, I will have a recurrence of a rash in the exact same spots! (Mangos are in the poison oak family.) Also, any kind of skin irritation (I am prone to contact dermatitis as well, and I'm reactive to metal also) may cause those spots to erupt in a rash again.
Avatar f tn How are you? Contact with the oil of these plants: poison ivy, poison sumac, and poison oak causes most people to have a rash, blisters, and itching. The symptoms of an allergic reaction to poison ivy, sumac, or oak include the following, from least serious to most serious: itching, red blotches, blisters, fever, headache, swelling of throat and eyes, overall swelling of your body, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Usually the rash is first noticed 1 to 2 days after contact.
Avatar f tn I was worried but then noticed the bumps spread to my leg and my arm so then I thought it was poison oak because the day before I noticed the rash I went hiking were poison oak was present and i did urinate while i was hiking. I saw a doctor and she said it was poison oak. Then about two weeks ago I noticed I was getting a cough so I automatically thought HIV again the cough turned into a stuffy nose and I was fatigued.
Avatar m tn I also have the beginnings of what looks and feels like a poison oak rash on my forearm. Again, I have not been anywhere near poison oak in years, and even if it were poison oak, it wouldn't account for the incredible swelling occurring on my genitals.
Avatar n tn I was in the woods last week and think I may have gotten poison oak onto my hands. I used the bathroom while I was out there and now my groin is itchy and is slightly reddish. the skin on the left side of my scrotum has becom wrinkled and feels thick. Under my left eye it is slightly red and puffy with itching. I dont have any blisters or anything like that but I believe it may be just a mild reaction from the leaf. Am looking for advice on what this could be.
Avatar m tn Started out as little, itchy bumps then grew into a red/purple rash and now it is scabby and warm to the touch. Its more prominent above my left foot but my right ankle is starting to get the same small bumps. I thought it may have been poison ivy or poison oak but I haven't been around any. Any suggestions/help are appreciated. Thanks.
Avatar m tn I'll start off by saying I live in Idaho & I'm severely allergic to poison oak/ivy/sumac, so bad that you'll find pictures of me in the medical texts because of when I was hosptalised for it as a child (over 75% of my body covered with massive puss-filled hives/blisters). Anyways, I have special soap that gets the plant's oil out of my skin that I use whenever I've been in the woods.
Avatar m tn he came down with a bad case of poison oak before we had sex the first time but was being treated with it by a doctor (was being given steriods) so it had been diagnosed - he is a mountain biker and is outside a lot and apparently was in contact with it there. i know he said it was on his back and rear end and groin, etc. two days after we had sex i came down with a rash on my left labia that was swollen. i went to a clinic and the doctor told me it was either syphillis or herpes.
535882 tn?1396576685 Sounds like you have some swelling around your eyes secondary to the poison oak exposure. As long as the vision is stable and you don't notice any increased redness or yellow/green discharge from the eyes, an infection in the eyes is less likely.
Avatar m tn I got a really bad case of poison ivy/oak not sure which, about two year ago between my fingers, at the base webbing of my index and middle fingers. It was horrible and spread all over my hand. Now, every once in a while i have an itchy, singular, tiny little bubble that comes up in those affected areas that looks exactly like the poison ivy bubbles. I usually leave it alone but i popped one the other day and now i have more.
2102615 tn?1333613633 I have a SEVERE breakout of poison ivy (or oak - not sure which one, exactly), and am afraid that the clear liquid oozing out of the worst sites will actually cause the rash to spread. But - then again, I'm also afraid that COVERING it will prevent its ability to dry out and eventually HEAL. What's best??
Avatar m tn Yea go see the doctor. I use to get poison oak all the time and is go and get and get a shot and it would clear up in a day or two.
Avatar m tn I had poison oak for 2 and a half weeks and it has been gone for about 2 weeks but it left redness that fades in and out were the rash used to be
3125506 tn?1343410023 s just on your legs, is there a possibility of you coming into contact with poison ivy, poison oak or poison sumac?
Avatar f tn 3 of their doctors said severe poison oak, mine still has no clue as to what it may be. So far I’ve been using tea tree oil, alcohol , calamine, premathin and it continues to spread.
Avatar m tn Hello, Poison ivy is a form of contact dermatitis caused by exposure to the poison ivy plant. It is less likely for poison ivy contact dermatitis to persist for long and cause triggering of eczema. The greatest risk of long-term damage comes from the resulting blistering in which the blisters may scar if broken, and these potentially-open blisters leave open the possibility of secondary infections.
Avatar n tn Glad I am not crazy. I have had poisonmivy and poison oak many times over the years, some very severe. Last summer, I returned to California from Missouri with poinson ivy all over from working in my dad's yard. I was given the internal meds and eventually the rash cleared up, but I still have redness where it was. About a month ago, I developed an itchy rash right where the outbreak had been the worst. It's still itchy--not like the original rash, but still annoying. Headed back to St.
Avatar n tn In the summer time, about mid- september, i got a rash on my ribs and it was just an ordinary case a some kind of poison oak and something, and it has spread to various parts of my body throughout the months but in small incriments. so about a month and a half ago a red bump appeared right on top of the head of my penis. so i thought it was poison ivy at first because i had it on my thighs and butt as well as a little on my arms and hands.
Avatar m tn I have a rash on both of my elbows. About a week ago, I had poison ivy on my neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs, but not on my elbows. I was prescribed Kenalog Cream, which reduced the poison ivy to basically scars. I thought I was bitten by a bug on my elbow a couple days later, and it went from looking like a bug bite to looking like the attached picture. Some of the raised, red welts have a small dark mark in the center, some don't.

Avatar f tn About 4 weeks ago I got a bad poison oak rash, got hives, bad itching. Went to the doctor and was prescribed Hydroxyzine & Prednisone for 5 days. This made a huge difference but, once the prednisone wore off the rash back full force. I returned to my doctor and was prescribed Prednisone for longer and a higher yet decreasing dosage over 7 days. Sure enough, the rash dried out and healed, itching subsided until about 2 days after finishing the course of Predisone.
