HELP! Unexplained rash, like a heat rash or eczema.?
-
When I was younger, I was very prone to heat rash... so when I got a really red and itchy spot on the side of my elbow, I thought I was just taking too hot of showers and I tried to use hydrocortisone cream and cold packs to make it go away. The hydrocortisone didn't work at all, and the cold packs only relieved the itching, but not the redness. Now, the rash has spread so that it covers a thin strip from the base of my thumb, all the way up my arm to the front of my shoulder and then over my shoulder to my back and the back of my armpit, then in a strip (about 3 inches wide) down my side, and then all the way down to my ankle. Also, now it is spreading up the back of my neck and kind of wrapping around to the front. This is very strange for me. It is only on my right side, and very closely resembles a heat rash, except that it is far too persistent and widespread and won't go away with what I used to treat it with. I've tried switching which side I sleep on, I've tried changing my sheets and laundry softener, I've tried over the counter hydrocortisone gel, I've tried leaving it alone, I've tried using regular hand soap on it, I've tried putting lotion on it, I've tried putting Vaseline on it. But it's only getting worse. The main problem is that I think I'm scratching myself at night because I have been waking up with my arm actually bleeding most mornings. And now, this morning, I woke up and while I was still half asleep, was so unbearably itchy that I thought I was going to go crazy. I've cut my nails down to non-existence, but it hasn't done any good, and whenever I try to cover my hands at night, I just end up pulling off the gloves/socks/whatever. Normally, I would have gone to a doctor when this all started about three weeks ago, but I'm currently studying abroad & I don't know if my insurance will cover me here and the earliest I can get home is in June. I've asked my parents to send me Benadryl (I can't find it, or anything like it at the pharmacy) but the earliest that will be here is about two weeks from now. I know that nobody can diagnose and treat me over the internet, BUT does anyone know what this could possibly be??? Or anything they think could help? I'm too embarrassed to wear anything but long-sleeved shirts because my arm is such a wreck right now, but long sleeve shirts only seem to make me itchier. Kind of desperate here... thank you for reading through this novel.

Answer:
as you said difficult to know when dealing online..however without knowing more I'd probably treat it as if it were a fungus...(most skin rashes are in some form..eczema etc) If you can get access to some probiotcs and start taking daily (acidophilus etc) I'd also try some pure coconut oil and/or a good olive oil as they are both anti fungal.. can take a few teaspoons per day and apply topically to a few areas and see if you get relief. Look up other treatments for topical candida/yeast - will just depend on what you can find in your area. Stay away from sugar, starches, more fresh veggies some fruits, meat/dairy is usually ok. If you can find any type of health food store in your area...you will find some answers there as well. I've also used the herb pau'd'arco as a tea or compress over areas like that as well. Also look up what essential oils help fungal infections..and if apply to skin dilute them in the olive oil first and only try on small areas at a time. Hope you get some relief!

My little boy had eczema on his cheeks. I was not sure what method to use but I didn't want to make my boy go through any surgery treatments at this young age. Some suggested a plastic surgeon since it was in a very visible location but our family doctor recommend this natural guide. Best Eczema Treatment?
