Odd Rash

[Worried576]

My daughter has an unusual rash. At first the dermatologist thought it was a reaction to a virus, then he thought scabies. She has taken medications for both, but it doesn't get any better. It covers her entire body from neck to ankles, in particular her hands. Small red bumps that itch, occasional small blister type bumps as well. She will also get a large blister in the center of her palm. I also have the small red bumps and occasional small blisters. I think it's some type of allergic reaction, or maybe even an offshoot of the eczema I already suffer from? Any suggestions??

I am a 54 year old woman with a daughter who is 31 and another who is 29. All three of us have problems with getting tiny blisters between our fingers.  These blisters are very itchy and ooze clear liquid when broken. I saw a Dr. but like everyone else, to no avail.  What we have figured out, for ourselves, is that it relates to our diet. When we start overloading on the sugars, starches, breads, etc. the rash starts.  The more we eat these foods, the more the rash/blisters spread. Not being in the medical field I am not qualified to make a diagnosis for anyone else, but the three of us believe it to be some sort of yeast infection. It takes eliminating these foods completely from out diet for a while to make this disappear. Also, there is a product called Grapefruit Seed Extract, follow the directions on the bottle. This stuff taste awful, but should only be mixed with water, as any juices are full of sugar.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Hi,

Try to avoid manipulating the bumps to prevent more harm and secondary infection.  If you do not have history of allergic reaction, this could be due to dyshidrotic eczema, infection, pustular psoriasis, or recurrent focal palmar peeling. It is important to have the lesions evaluated for proper diagnosis. The vesicles in patients with dyshidrotic eczema are usually intraepidermal and spongiotic. They are characterized by vesicular eruption on the fingers, palms, and soles. The condition affects teenagers and adults and may be acute, recurrent, or chronic.
Allergy testing may also be indicated.

Take care and keep us posted.
