I have for several years suffered with dry skin, I don't use any soap or shower jells as this drys my skin out, I use mosturiser all the time.Some nights I lay in bed and have problems getting to sleep as my skin feels like it is itching all over and then feels like it is burning.
I have between my bum cheeks a scaley patch which can get very sore and over the last year had on and off itching nipples sometimes they have red spots that can be sore, over the last few weeks they are itching all the time. I wear cotton briefs and bra. my ankles have now started to itch especially at night and they feel like they are burning it is driving me mad.
I have used on seperate occasions Oilatum, Vaseline, Aqueoues, Olive Oil and recently even antihestimene cream. Nothing seems to work.
Would be grateful for any advice
I take the following medication:
FLIXOTIDE 125 mg - Emphesema
VENTOLIN 100 mg - Emphesema
CO-DYDRAMOL 10/500mg - Migrane
GABAPENTINE 300mg - Nuropathecic Pain
RAMIPRIL 5mg - High Blood Pressure
LANSOPRAZOLE 30mg - Gastro reflux
PREMARINE 0.625mg - I have had a total hysterectomy
From the symptoms it can be intertrigo or due to eczema. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. Also wear cotton undergarments. Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
