Hi,

Like i said in my previous post - it is essential to do a proper clinical examination to come to a diagnosis.

What did the skin specialist tell you about the diagnosis and what was advised?

You could take OTC antihistamine medications to help with your symptoms and apply calamine lotion at the sites.

Keep us posted.

Regards.

i'll post pics later.. if that helps...

it's a bacterial skin infection... aided by stress

i'm not on medications...

i've always had a ****** diet..sometimes better, sometimes worse..  didn't seem to matter...

I never used cosmetic products.. I'm a man

water is useless.. it only produces cleaner enzime and skinfall?

"Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine."
please expand...

I was at quite a few of dermatheologists.. didn't help.. It looks
like sporiazis.. but not so bad..


I will, thanks..

Hi,

Nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesions.

This could be an allergic reaction to some unknown substance or dermatitis or eczema or some bacterial skin infection.

Are you on any medications?

Do you take a healthy balanced diet? It would help to take vitamin and mineral supplements to replace any deficiencies - which could cause these symptoms. Keep the areas well moisturised.

You need to wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites.

Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine.

It would be advisable to consult a skin specialist for your symptoms and a proper clinical examination.

Let us know if you need any other information and post us on how you are doing.

Regards.
