How do i stop it,what is it?

ok,i have eczema on my hands.I know what it is,i have had it sence i was little.
I have this new rash.After christmas of 2009..i got this rash around my eyes.
they are little welts,not like eczema at all,these welts burn and itch.I tried my
best nopt to itch them and put lotion on the skin.two weeks and they whent away.
NOW..i have them all over my arms and chest and beasts.They are MUCH larger..
and they are big welts,like chicken pocks(i had them before)..but they dont leve scabs
at all.I tried my eczema med lotion on them..but it just irritates them.
I have had this for a week and 5 days.after i shower they dont ich as badly,so i though
maybe it was the laundry soap i was using on my clothes.So,i bought some
stuff for people who cant stand perfumey soaps.I wash everything on my bed,
all my cloths and some stuffed animals.I didn't seem to work,and my welts are getting
more and more irritating.I don't know what it is..is is not eczema at all..cause they dont
act of feel like it,nore do they act like chicken pocks.I havent changed my diet...
or touched anything i havent touched before all of this.It dosent ich as much in
the day,but at NIGHT it itches like the devil!!
I tried ich creams of all kinds,and neosporin..it dosent help much.
the worst part is around my breasts..and on my nips.they burn and are swelled up.
the skin gets dry and flakey with welts.If i shower the swelling goes down,
for about 4 hours.
Ok,this is what i know...and what i don't know.
Please tell me somthing that can stop the welts..or itching.
maybe another cream or herb..or somthing.
I have no doctor or med-care of anykind.
Oh,and another thing.
The welts are not like my eczema...they are hard and i dont feel pain the i rip one off,
nore does it leve a scab.

flaky dry skin..and all red and swelled.-wich is now going away..

Hi,
Yes it IS terrible.
I done some reading up on eczema..and it seem that females are more likely to get
ezcema..and its always passed down in the family.Its a genetic thing..and it leves
its own DNA code in your own DNA.so,it can not be cured..but treated.
And no one can cath it from you at all,unless they are from your bloodlines.
if..you know what i mean.
I found this today..i hope..you can look things up in here..cause it sounds to be
terrible on ya..then it is on me right now.

its..a pill that seems to work.I cant try it cause i have no med care,
or money for doctors that love to take money from ya.LOL
This is the stuff that really works.
If you have a CVS near by...pleas go get it!!!
it really works on thoes blisters from what we have.

---------
My other welts...are somthing else.
I got this cream for a bikini line..for thoes stubble hairs that get
infected as they grow back,it stop chafing.it actually works alot.
i suggesting to use that on top of the Eczema cream cause its waterproof.
My rash on my breasts are going away when i do this.
So maybe it'll be good for you too.
I tried calamin lotion..wich does not work much at all.
-----
you know..this gorl at the store..has the same thing only on her lips!!
and..i have been going around on the net..and just the past 5 months
alot of people have been getting these hives and rashes.
I am begining to think that maybe its somthing in the air.
like pollution or something that was sprayed in the air we were not told about.
Cant be the water..cause i have well water.
----
The wierd rash..is crawling off my chest..and is going down to my legs..
and female area.and off my fore-arms and up my back.
its almost as if its seraching for somthing.
heh...wierd.
---
I was told to try and put oat meal in my bath water,
and green tea.then put apple vinigar on the welts.
Havent tried that yet.
---
i hope i helped someone today.
or myself.LOL

Hey Dragon- I'm surprised by your posting because I am experiencing very similar issues.  I don't know if I would describe redness as welts but I have also had eczema since childhood and it varies but has only been getting worse in adulthood.  My arms are the worst they've ever been and my hands are getting worse but my FACE is the absolute worse.  

Anyway I'm sorry I am not a DR but I was hoping you could send photos and maybe we could k.i.t. if we might get new information on the subject.  I Thankfully just got some insurance coverage so I'm just praying that my visit to the dermatologist this monday will shed SOME light on this issue- the rash around my breast is very concerning so I am trying to research as much as possible for my own journal and to assist others and Dr. as much as possible- (they don't know everything unfortunately :( )

Basically with my face now even when I use warm washcloth I have incessant peeling and open wound that looks like rugburn on each cheek- then slight discharge comes and it dries and produces kind of like a tight scab on my face... its just awful- are you experiencing anything like that?

Aside from whatver the dermtlgst recommends I am about to try an intense DETOX and strict diet regiment (raw/juice) and see if that helps... also doing more research to see what SPECIFIC BLOOD/labwork I could have done to try and find any allergins or deficiencies that could be causing issues... Hope to hear from u- be well.

Hello,
These welts can be due to hives, eczema or dermatitis. Take some antihistaminic like Benadryl or Zyrtec and apply some calamine lotion on the itchy areas. If the symptoms persist then you may need topical and oral steroids. Please consult a dermatologist in that case.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
