Rash

[ryan858]

I'm calling it a rash, but I don't really know what it is. I took a picture of it and downloaded it as my profile picture.

It itches and is a redish color. I have had it for a couple months and it hasn't gone away. I have been using Triamcinolone Acetonide cream from someone, but it hasn't helped.

I don't have any money to see a doctor so any help would be great.

Thank you,

Ryan

I am NOT going to lecture you about using someone else's prescription medication...although I would like to...but that's not my job. lol

It's hard to tell, but it looks like there is a bruise under it as well?
It could be psoriasis, eczema, or dry skin...you would need to see a doctor in order to determine exactly what it is and to get your own prescription ointment that may work.
Try to wear loose fitting clothing to avoid rubbing and further chaffing. Give it as much air as you can. Avoid baths...shower instead. Dry thoroughly after washing.
I suggest you ask the nice people in either the Alternative Therapies or Complementary Medicines Forums for suggestions.
They can help you with home remedies that may work.
