I was told it was Rosacea , but everything I read says Rosacea includes red acne-like and burning bumps, but I have never had that. What is this spot? I was once told, about 10 years ago that I would need laser surgery to remove it. Something about breaking up blood vessels, I think. It has never really bothered me before, but as I get older, I feel more and more like I might want it gone. Any advice or suggestions? Thank you for your time,"

"value": "Dear Ifriel. Having worked in the UAE & seen a lot of similar cases, you may be on the right track. Contact with fibre glass may present similarly. Pictures dont often tell the real story. This is why medicine can never be totally taken over by the net-wizards! Apply a topical strong steroid cream & take a non-sedative long acting antihistamine. You should be well on your way to recovery in 24-48 hrs. Avoid further contact with similar products or take preventive measures. Good luck Dr praveen Rodrigues MD Dermatologist & Cosmetologist, Bangalore, India"

As I have been getting older my allergies have increased to more things and I recently about a month ago went on a big night out and ever since that night I have been reacting and been generally unwell. I feel as if the alcohol is out of my system now but everytime I go to bed a rash appears on my skin? is it my bedding? Im so confused"

{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Hey there shannon. Dont be stressed out as regds to the rash but i may advise against alcohol in general & certainly abstain from binging at your age especially with your history of allergy. Cross-linkage between various food items is not uncommon & it all depends on What alcohol you consumed (what was it derived from). You may want to consider taking an antihistamine 1-2 hr prior to bedtime & drink lots of water for a week or so. You should be fine. Stress will aggravate these episodes so relax. If it persists after a week, please do consult your local dermatologist or if its an issue, photograph your skin lesions, upload them onto this site & consult me directly on the paid section..hope the advice was worth your while & get better soon.

"value": "Hello, It seems that your urticaria is truly idiopathic in nature, but I presume that the H pylori test (during endoscopy) was negative as your results of food allergies. Thyroid function with TPO antibodies should be checked as occasionally thyroid imbalance can be the cause. You will need Allegra 180mg AM plus 90mg PM and cetirizine 10mg (midday) with 10mg reserve at night (PM) or hydroxyzine 25/50mg ONLY at night to control the urticaria. There are various combinations of antihistamines you can use that give you best control. Anti-IgE therapy (Omalizumab) or high-dose IVIG are expensive traetment options especially when hydroxycholoroquine or ciclosporin fails after antihistamines have not worked."

Sometimes biochemical pregnancy occurs after which you can get your periods. So, if you have got your periods, stop all the medicines except folic acid. You can try same medicines next cycle also. Track your follicles growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for next 2 to 3 days. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. Don't get stressed too much.

In addition, take Tablet Zyrtec 10 mg once a day and Tablet Benadryl 1 tablet at bedtime. Do not take Benadryl during the day. It would make you extremely sleepy. You'll be better in 1-2 weeks. If it does not improve, please see a general physician. Hope this helps Regards"

It is a common fungal infection, usually seen on areas of body where there is moisture like underarms, groin region, finger spaces. But it can present virtually anywhere on the body. As you have been experiencing less itching and more pain it could be due to a wild strain ( as ou have mentioned that you have done hiking and secluded in forest areas). Do not worry. Using topical preparations that contains anti fungal( clotrimazole, micanazole or ketoconazole), a steroid ( betamethasone ot triamcinilone or clobetasone) and an antibiotic ( neomycin or gentamycin) should help you. If you have severe pain using NSAIDS like Aceclofenac or diclofenac along with serratio peptidase will help you. But please see a Dermatologist to rule out other possibilities for the lesions ( as i did not see the lesion i can not be accurate with my diagnosis but probabality of you having ring worm infection is high) and get treated accordingly. Wish you a speedy recovery. Take Care"

"value": "Hi: Thank you for your question. First of all I want to make sure you have scabies. Sometimes patients get scaird and think they have scabies and it is not. I am assuming that you know this for sure. The cream has to be applied from head to toe (excluding your scalp and pubic hair, eyes, ears,). It needs to stay on 8-12 hours so I usually tell patients to do this before bed. The next morning they need to shower it off. Wash all bedsheets and clothing in very hot water. Check other family members for a rash. The itching will go on for a few more days as scabies is actually a 'mite' which is a microscopic organism that burrows in the skin and lays eggs. You can use Benadryl which is over the counter. Vistaril requires a prescription. Some cases require a steroid because the itching goes on for weeks. If in one week, you still have lesions, the cream should be reapplied. Hope this helps, Carol Rogala D.O."

Exposing the rash to sunlight may make it go away more quickly. Apply a moisturizer or calamine lotion to the skin while it is damp.[ when you stop betamethasone]. Wear cotton or silk clothing. Avoid wearing wool and acrylic fabrics next to your skin. Use as little soap as possible. Use gentle soaps, such as Basis, Cetaphil, Dove, or Oil of Olay. Avoid deodorant soaps when you have a rash.

Both tend to itch at first, but can also become painful. Yeast and Fungi do happen a lot on children and especially in the buttock region (just like diaper rash). The more concerning bacterial infection (staphylococcus) will usually spread very fast and if the skin breaks down, it will form a \"honey crusting\" type of appearance. The swollen ring you described and spreading by small \"satellite lesions\" makes me think this is a fungal or yeast infection. You can try ketoconazole cream on the area to see if it controlls it. Otherwise, I would recommend getting it examined by a doctor for proper treatment. Good luck."
