Riba Rash on Scalp...How to Treat

[pooh55811]

I developed a Riba rash starting around Dec. 12th. It has mostly been on my extremities and abdomen. I have been using Flucinonod ointment. As one spot clears up another next to it emerges. I saw the derm doc 3 days ago and she continued the fluocinonide ointment. While I had one or two intermittantly slightly itching spots on my head at that time, it did not bother me. Since then I have developed a rash on my scalp. I am sure it is related and is part of this Riba rash.

My question: What would be best to use on it? I am not excited about putting that greasy fluocinomide ointment on it. I already use very mild organic herbal shampoo. I could probably live with it if it did not get worse at night and itch like crazy, just like the other hot spots on my legs and ankles. I thought maybe someone on the forum has found a good remedy for Riba rash on the scalp.

The rash does seem to persist longer over bones. I have the rash in several places (as noted), forearms, legs, thighs, abdomen, ankles, feet, some of which have cleared to some extent. However, now that you mention it, the most persistent rashes have been on my ankles, elbows, knees. The others seem to clear faster with the fluocinonide cream, but those over bone persist longer and look worse (larger spots that turn sort of darker red-purple). They also itch a lot worse. Interesting observation. Hmmm.

I don't know the answer to the scalp situation...but I have noticed my rash emerges over the top of bones, like the meds are coming out. I am so scarred up on my wrists, elbows, ankles, chins, and up my vertebraes, ribs, hip bones, and shoulders.holders
