Since March of this year I have been experiencing a rash over my neck, chest and often, but not always over my face.
It is also very red, hot, but not itchy. My iron levels have also been extremely low, a level of 9, then increasing to 16 and then 20, but now its fallen again to 16, despite iron tablets.
The rash can appear out of nowhere, when I am at home relaxing and not in a 'stressful' situation or environment. It lasts for anything between 10 minutes and 30 minutes, its happening on a daily basis and is now causing me to feel very self conscious, upset and embarrassed. People have commented on it which adds to my distress. Please does anyone know what I can do about this. Thank you
It sounds an allergic reaction to something, especially since it's not itching and does not last long. It could be something you are wearing or the environment. You would probably want to pay close attention to exactly what you are doing when it happens; for example what you eat, touch, the weather, etc. You might want to do an allergy test also. Good luck!
not sure where you are, but if it is the USA then I suppose costs have to be taken into account. I would recommend a dermatologist. These are hard to find now in the UK. Have you changed your washing powder? Stop putting fabric conditioners into your machine if you do and do an extra rinse cycle. Bath instead of showering and simply pat yourself dry. Do one thing after another and see what eases you. Without question I would doubt it is food as food does not cause problems with specific areas. Write everything down that you try just in case you have to see a specialist.
