hello wondering if any one has had experience of incredibly itchy skin then red itchy rash developing on body. its not hives or eczema . looks like spots and skin is reddish. sometimes skin feels like its burning like sunburn and pricking sensation too. Wondering if related to hormone changes as am perimenopausal. any similar experiences? clare
It could be prickly heat or maybe a reaction to a preservative in a shower gel, skin cream, fabric conditioner or even washing detergent. Have you used any new products recently?
No i havent used anything different. very strange. i dont have any allergies either . Thank you for your suggestions though.
Can you post a picture? I have had an itchy rash since July 7th and nothing is working. Wondering if its the same? Mine is on my abdomen and back of thighs but is slowly moving to front of thighs too.
HI JULIE
the top picture looks a bit like mine. Did yours start with itching first like mine?
Clare
Yes, it started itching, just seemed to get progressively worse and within a few days bumps started showing up after scratching. Bumps are still there without scratching, but not angry red. But once I start scratching, they get bigger and stay angry and aggravated for a while until they settle down again. Seems like the itchiness really hits in the evening/night though.
it could be dermatitis
But wouldn’t a dermatitis at least get better with the use of steroid cream, steroid shots, and allergy pills and pepcids daily after a month? Everything I’ve been doing and nothing is better at all. Its like I’m on placebo’s seriously.
have you been to a dermatologist?
