4936507 tn?1365361667 Hi everyone. I have what I have chalked up to be just extremely sensitive skin, but only in certain areas. It started a couple of years ago when moisturizers I was using around my eyes and eyelids suddenly started causing a weird rash just under my eyebrows. It feels like it has been scratched and it itches and burns like crazy if I put anything on it. I started trying all different kinds of all natural, hypoallergenic, organic, etc types of moisturizers, all with the same affect.
Avatar n tn I have been diagnosed with eczema. I cm chemically sensitive and find many creams irritating. I searched on-line to find out the ingredients in pramasone and eletone and could find nothing. I received samples of these from a dermatologist and without the ingredients. I am unable to find them on the web. Is there a site open to the public that lists ingredients? I was also advised to take Zyrtec and wondered if Zyrtec had any more benefit for skin reactions thank Claritin.
Avatar m tn After you determine what cosmetic ingredients you are sensitive to, you will be able to choose the “safe” products that do not contain those antigens. For example, your topical routine could be as simple as applying fresh, home-made preparations for skin utilizing organic, eatable ingredients only. Wishing You Optimal Health, Dr.

Avatar f tn It wonderful and specially made for baby skin. It also good for those who have sensitive skin. I use it and love it. Smells good to me to.
Avatar m tn My girlfriend has very sensitive skin, and it can be irritated by a wide variety of things, but many of her most violent reactions come from different types of soap. A couple of the worst are Irish Spring and Lever 2000. I know this isn't very much information, but I'm trying to figure out if there are specific chemicals in these products that are known to cause allergic reactions. That way we would know to avoid them in the future. Thank you for your help.

Avatar m tn It sais: CETHAPIL skin cleanser for all skin types..mild, non irritating formula...soap free cleanser for sensitive skin. ideal for face, hand and body...NON COMEDOGENIC, FRAGRANCE FREE AND PH BALANCE ...Ingredients: Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, etc. Can this be use as lubricant in anal sex?
Avatar f tn I have eczema but I also get bad reactions to chapstick and neosporin when I apply to an open wound. So yeah, it aggravates my skin even more. My skin is not extremely sensitive but I always use fragrance free lotion. Fragrance in lotion, moisturizer, etc can irritate the skin even if unnoticed. If you have sensitive skin, it would be even more irritating. Menthol is also an irritant. I only use it to temporarily soothe away the AWFUL itchiness of eczema (it's better than scratching).
Avatar n tn s possible you had a reaction to one of the ingredients in the product. What were the actual ingredients of the product you took? Do you know if you have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis? If you have Hashimoto's, which is an autoimmune condition, additional iodine can make the autoimmune response worse. Do you take a replacement thyroid hormone medication, such as Synthroid, Levoxyl, Levothroxine, a desiccated mediation, etc?
Avatar n tn From doing researching on the internet, I think my little dog has Black skin disease. He is about 6 years old. He constantly scratches. He had fleas about 6 months ago and was treated by the Vet. Now he is fleas free but has small black patches on the skin between his leg joints and stomach area. The hair has become thin in these areas also. The rest of his skin is red and scaly.
Avatar f tn Depends on the person. Depends on how much is in the product. Depends on if the product is good quality and actually works. If you're concerned, don't use it, and fix your skin by eating better and better hygiene and eliminating artificial ingredients in the products you use on your skin. Some people have very sensitive skin, some don't.
Avatar f tn t doing it for me, so I took more. well not long after my teeth were super sensitive, and one tooth almost died, my skin felt like it had sunburn when any pressure applied to it... so sliding across the car seat was agony. I doubt it the fillers. I am pretty sure it is the active ingredient. seems I have to be hypoT for rest of my life as in the end it affected my joints. I am sure as now when I take any, I have a joint flare within hours. also have head issues on taking it...
Avatar f tn I've been using Aveeno baby with this baby and I love it. She has sensitive skin and it doesn't irritate her at all.
Avatar n tn I was using Sensodyne-F plus Whitening and the skin in my mouth started peeling. It wasn't painful, it was mostly just annoying. It mostly happened during the day after I brushed my teeth. It would continue on throughout the night, and continued until I stopped using that specific toothpaste. Now I just use Sensodyn-F Ultra Fresh. I also tried Whitening Expressions (Cinnamon) when my household bought it, and it caused slight peeling.
Avatar n tn t use regular bath soaps, as these can dry the skin and make the problem worse. A Dove bar or sensitive skin wash would be better. A penis health creme made with Shea butter and vitamin E can also soften the skin and speed the healing process.
Avatar m tn That soap was Ivory which is supposed to be very mild. You say you have sensitive skin. Dove sensitive is a good choice of soap as a shower soap but not necessarily as a face soap. The skin in various parts of your body is different . You say you feel a burning sensation of your cheeks, forehead, and around your lips. Do you use a skin lotion to moisturize your face? If so, what is the name of that product.
Avatar n tn I looked at the ingredients and nothing stood out as a problem after some searches of the ingredients (boric acid, sodium borate, potassium chloride, sodium cloride, preserved with polyaminopropyl biguanide and edetate disodium.
Avatar f tn Does anyone no what to do about sensitive skin. My face is extremely sensitive right now and it hurts just to pull on it a little. Does this last long ? Or what can i do about it.
Avatar f tn My skin peeled like a sunburn about a week later. I never turned red. My skin became sensitive and whelped in the bend of my elbows and under my arms. Now it just hurts and itches. What is the problem? I now use an umbrella when I am in the sun, but the sensitivity has remained.
Avatar f tn Normally I don't have that bad of sensitive skin, but since the past few weeks I have noticed that when I take a shower and use my loofa sponge and coco butter body wash (which I have used for about a year now) I break out with a rash on my stomach. Also I took a bath tonight, just plain water, not hot of course and noticed that I broke out with a rash on my stomach AND my chest. What is going on? Is this normal?
