I also experiences really itchy skin at times, not as bad as yours though. In my case, I can prevent the rashes by avoiding harsh weather, strong chemicals and strong soap. Keep your skin supple by always moisturizing with mild lotions.

Does anyone here suffer unexplained skin problems related to their condition?

Anyone else suffer like this?
For two years I have suffered from a skin rash which mimics scabies. I have had various tests including biopsies. The rash now covers my entire body and itches a lot. For many years Ihave been on thyroid medication for nodules on my thyroid. Could the rash be related to my thyroid?

Rash in scabies is usually found in the folds of skin and they are red blister like rashes. it can be due to allergic reaction, hives or insect bites. Take some antihistaminic like Benadryl or Claritin and apply some calamine lotion on the rash. If the symptoms persist then please get it examined from a dermatologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
I have had rashes and dark skin on and around scrotum and inner thigh for last 5-6 years. In the beginning rashes and small cuts used to appear between inner thighs and they would heal themselves but they left dark and loose skin when they disappeared. But for last 2-3 months these rashes and cuts started appearing again in ferocious way and these have extended on testicle skins too. When they appear it itches too much results in small cuts with small blood. i m very depressed.
Lichen planus is an inflammatory disease that affects the skin and the oral mucosa, and presents itself in the form of papules (flat spots) or rashes. Treatment is available only on prescription and consists mainly of steroids, retinoids, hydroquinone and phototherapy.

the pimple like bumps sound like in grown hairs....I get them too and they are exactly as you describe them. Are you on any kind of Steroids....even ADVAIR? Because Steroids play a big part in not healing quickly. And finally the rashes you speak of don't sound diabetic related because normally diabetics get lesions on there skin that turn into big open sores rather than rashes.....I've never heard of a diabetic getting a rash that was related to diabetes, and I'm a diabetic myself.
I too am experiencing skin problems but they started after I started taking insulin. I don't know if it's the insulin or the diabetes or other health problems that is causing that. My doctor prescribed Erythromiacin topical solution and it seems to clear the bumps up before they they come to a head and get infected. If you start getting red flakey patches I can tell you what does and doesn't work for that also.

hey folks - i am waiting to hear back from my GI who will probably send me to my primary doc who will then send me to a dermatologist, so i just wanted a little info while i wait - it's kinda gross but i'll let it rip ====
i have nasty red rashes on areas of my body. i am overweight and the rashes (looks like red spiderwebs) are under my breasts, in my groin area, under my tummy and is now spreading to under my love handles on my back.
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?
t accompanied by other obvious skin changes, such as a rash, is most often caused by dry skin (xerosis). Other conditions cause itchy skin as well. Skin conditions like psoriasis,dermatitis,lice,scabies and hives, internal diseases like liver and kidney disorders,diabetes, iron deficiency anemia, irritation and allergic reactions to chemicals,wool,soaps,cosmetics and certain foods can cause itchy skin.
You can apply an anti-itch cream or lotion to the affected area.
