Avatar n tn I have this same rash on the same part of my body. Your symptoms present exactly the same as mine. I have cat allergies, but have had a cat for the past year with no problems. However, just a few days before I got this rash, we took in another cat. So I'm thinking it could be allergies that cat. However, when I looked up pictures of the rash online, it looked more like irritant contact dermatitis rather than allergic contact dermatitis.
Avatar f tn How do y'all deal with cat allergies?!?!? I've just recently become super allergic to my best friends cat's and I wanna be able to go see her without her cats killing me!!!

Thanks for the tips and suggestions friends!
Avatar m tn t know if this is a heat rash, or if seasonal allergies can do things to the skin as well as sinuses? Does this sound familiar at all? Thank you in advance!
7639611 tn?1392877261 I am a 27-year-old woman and this is my first winter in Colorado, I moved here from New York. I have a long history of asthma and allergies, particularly to pollen, dust mites, and pet dander. My asthma is controlled with Flovent. In the past, I haven't even needed Flovent but use it now because I live with a year and a half-old cat. (I've lived with this cat their whole life.
Avatar f tn It started with itching-like dry skin. Then I would get the itching on my face and my face and neck literally were red with swelling. I tried rosacia creams and anything to sooth my actually "hot"skin. I eventually called the doctor with probably my 3rd breakout in 5 months-The doctor was stumped. He put me on a steroid, antibiotic and bedadryl (interveniously to start) and it cleared up.

Avatar m tn Hello, first time poster here. So, I woke up this morning after sleeping on the floor (family over), and I was sweating. To think of it, I was sweating all night. I began to itch once I was awake and noticed a large hive/rash on both my inner thighs, inner arms, outer chest(near nipples), and on the inner elbow of one arm.I slept on my right side and on that side(chest/arm wise) the rash seems to be larger. Is this a heat rash? or some kind of allergic reaction?
Avatar f tn I have skin allergies I describe them as swollen and itchy it started as a small dot but when you scratch it more it becomes bigger.What kind of allergy is this?
Avatar m tn It was not until my teens that I started to develop a horrible rash that would appear with bad allergies. I was tested when i was younger (9 yr or younger) and it was decided that I was allergic to trees, pollen, mold, animal dander, dust, grass etc. I got my shots for many years and was stopped. I was retested right before i got pregnant bc i was struggling with the rash and allergies bad. my test came back pretty much the same. I had my son and was tested again with similar results.
1153085 tn?1341301893 My cat suddenly started to develop dry, itchy skin on her head, ears, especially between the eyes and ears. A blood test revealed that she had become allergic to cow's milk, wheat, oats and yeast, as well as borderline allergic to a bunch of other things. We changed her food and the rash went away.
Avatar n tn No pets, no travel, no flu like symptons, no history of asthma or any other allergies, now some of the spots look more like a heat rash, but they go away and come back in a different spot, either as a dot or as a small patch. Only on her chest and stomach, last time i went to the dr they said it was a mild case of chicken pox, because she was vaccinated, but now this is the same thing so I don't think it was pox the first time either.

203342 tn?1328737207 The more common cat allergy is to various proteins contained in cat saliva. These proteins can be deposited on hair and skin when the cat grooms itself and then become airborne when hair or dander (dead skins cells are shed. More likely the symptoms are from dust, mold, and other debris that get kicked out into the house when you first few times the central heating system kicks in.
Avatar n tn hi Nykitty and welcome to our forum. I sure hope we can be of some help to you and kitty. I reread your post a few times and I have some questions. - you said you changed his shampoo....how often do you shampoo???? this isn't normal for a cat to be shampoo'd you know, it removes their 'natural' skin oils. I would d/c that immediately. -you also changed the litter. what kind did you use and what are you using now? IMO what you kitty has is eosinophilic plague or granuloma.
Avatar m tn You can confirm that be getting yourself tested for allergies by an allergist. Skin prik tests and blood tests like RAST are employed to find if you are allergic to chlorine found in swimming pools or any other chemical in the pool. If you face any of such symptoms again, please take an over the counter antihistaminic like Benadryl or zyrtec.If symptoms are severe, oral steroids may be needed.
Avatar m tn ve had an allergy test this is why you know that you are have animal dander allergies. Do you have a dog, cat , bunny or hamster as a pet ? Just wondering. Be well.
Avatar n tn The patch has a rough texture in comparision of the surrounding skin. And upon rubbing the region, some layers of skin (dead skin, rough like big flakes of dandruff) also come off. I am quite worried about this. Can somebody help?
Avatar n tn Otodectes, Cheyletiella, Scabies, etc, ringworm and other fungal infections, allergies (allergies to food can occur anytime in the life of a cat), bacterial skin infections, endocrine disorders and more. Ringworm, and some mites can be transmitted to people. Frontline does not treat mites. The topical: "Revolution" is for fleas, ticks, ear mites, and scabies, so it might be a good idea to switch to Revolution for a couple of months.
