Dry, red, itchy, bumpy skin? I tried Eucerin, Aveeno...OUCH!!! HELP Please!?
You need a good moisturizer something like Lipikar Balm. It absorbs nicely without leaving a greasy feeling and it soothes. My Dermatologist is against baby oil because it clogs the pores.
Reply:Try something that has salicylic acid in it
Reply:You may have psoriasis or eczema. If that is the case you should go to the dermatologist and get a prescription ointment for it.
Reply:What you've tried so far hasn't helped, so you need to first find out what this is - contact dermatitis, allergic dermatitis or something more. See your primary care provider for evaluation.
Reply:Have you been to the doctor??? You might want to have it checked out since the over the counter stuff is not working.
Reply:Better ask a professional, but in the mean time, try an oatmeal bath to relieve the itchy-scratchy
Reply:Try Hydrocortisone (1%) cream, gel, and ointment are available without a prescription. It is commonly used to treat skin inflammation and itching. It makes the bumps go away and is soothing. The other product you are using may be too harsh for you. You may have sensitive skin or an allergy. if it doesnt go away with the cream then talk to a dermatologist!
Reply:calamine lotion. they have a clear one out now. it will help the itch.
Reply:try calamine lotion, or cortaid or an anti itch cream---Could it possibly be Chicken Pox--might be poison ivy, OR an allergic reaction to soap or detergent or lotion that you are using (Have used anything new recently?)--If it doesn't go away get it looked at. Also try Oatmeal baths (you can get the packets in Heatlh and Beauty at your local store)--it helps relieve some itching
Reply:hi...if its itching and red then you might be having a reaction to something...have you been near any plants (like poison ivy). See your dermatologist quickly. Make sure you wash your hands after you itch b/c it might spread to other parts of the body. Try buying poison ivy ointment from ur local pharmacy. You can even show ur rash to the Pharmist thats working there.
Reply:From the sound of it, you may be sensitive to gluten. That means that you may have to restrict how much wheat you consume. Do an interent sear for Celiac's Disease and see if you fit the criteria.





Try to eliminate bread from your diet. My wife has a rash on her leg that flares up every so often. The allergist told her she's sensitive to gluten, but not bad enough to develop Celiac's Disease. Try cornbread instead of regular bread. If you must have bread, have as little as possible. You'll see that it clears up as your wheat consumption goes down.
Reply:It could be scabies or some other skin disease/condition. Go see a dermatologist ASAP.
Reply:clean and clear always worked for me
Reply:Maybe chicken poxs? I would go see a doctor if I where you maybe your having a allergic reaction to somthing. whatever u dont scratch it it makes it worse and can spread even more.
Reply:Gold Bond medicated cream works well, but you should get it checked out to see what's causing the rash - are you using a new laundry soap? Bath soap? Lotion? Fabric softener? Any change in what you've been using could be the culprit.
