Rash that nothing seems to help
by Gee022, May 19, 2007 12:00AM
I don't know if all this is connected but it maybe so so I'll post all the info I have. About the end of February of '07 I had a tiny cluster of little bumps on one finger that was itchy and slowly it seemed to get worse until it was like a good size open wound on my finger, very oozy , would get crust then ooze again, I was travelling at the time and finally got it to a doctor, they thought impetigo(also by that time I have what to me looked to be hives), gave antibiotics (not sure the specific kind) next morning after taking one pill I had loads of little red bumps all over me, but mostly on arms , hands face and feet. Went back to doctor (different one) he took me off antibiotics (Idunno if they actually caused that reaction or if it was just coincidence), put me on fucidin cream, prednisolone, and told me to keep taking antihistimes which I had been taking unsuccessfully for these supposed hives. After a week it all basically seemed to clear up , then a week later nothing but those red bumps came back but only on my upper arm, hands, and around my lips. It's been about two months since then and it's still here, I've been to my family doctor, a dermatologist and everyone gave me steriod creams and so on for ezcema (which did nothing especially for my lips since I can't even put it on there) and I've stopped using all porducts for a dermatologist reccommended one that didn't help, it's not my detergent, it's not food that I can see, in fact I can see no pattern with this at all, it will just start to seem to go away randomly but before it's even completely cleared it's will always come back in those same places. I don't know what to do at this point but it's driving me nuts, it looks terrible and is very itchy... help!
