Can cedar tree leaves cause a rash like poison ivy?

i was cutting my cedar tree and the leaves got on my skin and now i am broke out like poison ivy and it itches. can someone help me? do ineed a doctor?|||Yeah that happened to me also.





Cedar has these tiny little needles that get in the skin causing inflammation and redness (you can see them if you look carefully). Except if you have evidence of infection (pus, ect), I dont think you need a doctor. It IS itchy %26amp; annoying, but it will sort itself out.





Now I wear gloves when messing around with cedar ! ;-)|||It sounds like you may be allergic to that particular tree. It is common, as I am allergic to pecan trees. Just put some calimine (that is spelt very wrong, but it sounds right!), on it, and don't let it come in contact with any other part of your skin, or it will spread. If it is a serious rash, like, if it spread a lot or is an odd color, than you should see a doctor to get some antibiotics. Carpe Diem!

Skin reaction to way too much cinnamon- important question about?

how long can I wait until after the rash brought on by this unnatural amount of cinnamon in my bloodstream heals to eat the spice again? Or is my body now actallu ALLERGIC to it?|||Not quite sure how long it would take to leave your body, but I have several food allergies and I always have Benedryl and my epi-pen with me. If you start to break out in a rash, you're probably allergic to it. Try taking 1 Benedryl next time this happens (be careful if you drive, they make you drowsy) and see if that helps with the rash. I would suggest seeing your doc and he/she can refer you to an allergist. You should get this checked because the reaction can start off mild, but it can all of a sudden become an anaphylactic reaction, which is life threatening. You can buy the Benedryl OTC at the drug store. Better safe than sorry.

8 year old with very odd rash like patch below elbow. They are perfect rows of little bruise like spots?

When my daughter got out of her bath last night I noticed she has what at first glance I thought was a scrape on her arm, after a closer look it showed an odd pattern of about 4-5 rows across and about 9 spots high a piece of small reddish purplish spots under the skin, almost like a bruise but ruddier almost like a broken blood vessel. She says it doesn't hurt or itch but I can't figure out what it is?|||Keep your eye on it again for a day or two or more.


If she was laying on something (like carpet) or the ground it could be a little abrasion - My daughter had a weird rash last night from her friends trampoline.





Could be just as you say little bruises. Keep a close eye on them and if they seem worse call her MD.


If they appear the same or better just keep a mental note.|||Sounds like some alleregic reaction- these days with the detergents alone kids develop all kinds of allergies- talk to her pediatrician about this, it's best if he/she takes a look at it.|||could be ringworm - if it didn't go away in a day or two I would take her to the doctor.

Skin help...?

I have had this rash on my arms and legs ever since i could remember. When i go to the doctors to ask about it they say that it isn't eczema but it is similar. I remember reading about what it was on the internet but i can't quite remember what it is called...anyone have an idea?|||Rosacea?

Allergy testing/ skin reaction?

I recently was tested for my outdoor allergies. I had the little pricks on my back %26amp; then shots of it in the arm to double check the ones that came up negative. That was 6 days ago %26amp; some of the red areas on my arm haven't gone away! Should I be concerned about this? I'm not having any bad reactions except it kind of looks like a small rash at the injection sites. I guess I just expected it to have gone away by now.... Help?|||No. This is normal and unless they look infected, there is no reason to worry. Sometimes the areas are just super sensitive after the testing. Try putting topical steroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% on the area.





Good luck!|||that sounds like a long time. but some of us have sensitive skin and it's not even a reaction you are seeing, but just the actual little prick from the needle. those take a couple extra days. so, if it's just the one's where the needles were, it's probably not the allergen that your arm is still reacting to, but just the needle.


good luck!|||I had the same thing when I was tested it should be alright.Just keep a eye on it,and notify your D.R. if it gets worse.|||You should have a return appointment with your doctor to check the places on your arm, but you are in no danger if it just appears as a small rash. It will just tell the doctor that you are allergic to those things. If you should experience difficulty breathing then that would indicate a more severe reaction which would require immediate medical attention|||Put some benadryl creme on it.|||Calm down... somtimes stress can worsen or cause a rash. First off, put some aloe vera on it, and then call your doctor to see if this normally happens.|||No you're fine. Ive had that so many tI'mes before. because I'm deadly allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, (these next things im not deadly allergic to just allergic) pollen, dust, dust mites, trees, grass, any animal that has fur and some kind of medicine that i cant remember the name of. Don't worry about it.|||If you are allergic to the places they shot in your arm, I don't think it is uncommon to last that long. I am allergic to nickel and if i touch it for even a minute, my break out will last about a week or 2.








Good luck.

Did you use different lotion, cream, soap, perfume, sprays, etc.... recently? Were your bedsheets washed in new detergent or new fabric softener or something?

However, since you didn't mention pain/itching, I would say it is probably an allergic reaction, i.e. contact dermatitis. An application of vitamin E may help alleviate the dryness. I would avoid any lotions with lanolin as they might cause an additional reaction.





You may also have a mild form of eczema. Some forms can be treated with over the counter medications, others require a prescription from a dermatologist.

keep the area moisturized; try to exfoliate if it doesn't hurt (use a GENTLE facial cleanser, with no perfumes or dyes %26amp; a washcloth). if it hurts or itches or the red comes back or its spreading, go see the doctor.





sometimes i get little bites that swell outwards to a big red area, then the bite %26amp; redness %26amp; swelling go away and i'm left with a big patch of itchy, flaky dry, dry skin. goes away after a few days of exfoliation %26amp; moisturizing. haven't had it tested or anything (besides for lyme, which was negative), but the doc says its probably a reaction to a certain kind of venom. dont know where you are in the country and what bugs are near you lol, but maybe its the same kind of thing?

At night when urine and stool have longer contact with the skin, make sure the layer is even thicker. Continue to do this for a few days after the last of the rash is gone.

Clean with soap and water, splash with peroxide, allow to air dry.|||Have you told yoor doctor that its urgent? I would say to ring up your local GUM clinic and they should usually be able to get you in the next day, if not the day you call in. You should get an idea there and then on what could be wrong and its all strictly confidential.


I wouldn't wait until next week to see the doctor though, at that rate you could be all cleared up by then. I would say that it is definatly an infection so avoid any sexual activity, and try not to mess with it (hard for men I know) as you could just spread it further.

A certain type of rash or allergic reaction? It starts at night and mostly goes away during day, ideas ???

The problem is that I have some sort of skin thing happening, it almost looks like poison oak, but I have had that and I don't remember it, for the most part, almost going completely away during the day and then all of a sudden, just starting sometime at night around 11 or so. The first night, (two nights ago), it all of a sudden just started happening. The symptoms are random itchy bumps and what looks like clusters of them on different parts of my body. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I am starting to lean torwards a mild allergic reaction, but to this supplement that I started taking a couple weeks ago, do some allergic reactions take time and then just become apparent? It would make sense to me but I am not a doctor. I thought perhaps it was detergent, but that doesen't seem to be it, along with maybe a fungus on the blanket or something else, but that just doesen't work out right. I am not ruling it out, but I can't figure out why it happens bad at night!|||Sine you tried a different detergent, and that did not work.


It could be your pillows....buy new ones.


My daughter had the same thing...with Down goose feather


pillows.|||Hi there poor you.Is it all over your body or in certain places? It could be a reaction to dust mites in your mattress, an allergy developing to feathers (perhaps in your pillows or Duvet) or eczema - mine only gets bad late at night. Good luck with your detective work.|||This could be an allergic reaction to the type of laundry detergent used on your sheets, blankets, etcetera. I could also be from dust mites. they make special items for people with allergies, special pillows and coverings. You may want to purchase some Dreft detergent and rewash your bedding and see if this works. Also, don't use fabric softener sheets.|||It sounds more like hives then anything else. I get hives at night when I am too warm. They are large, raised bumps that itch like crazy. Try taking some benadryl before going to sleep and see if that helps.

How to avoid a rash from the gym?

I go to the gym 4-5 times a week - I have developed red and dry skin just below my arms and on my butt. Is it to do with my choice of workout gear? Are there better alternatives to wear when working out hard?|||Try an anti fungal powder which you can get at any drug store or even at walmart in the pharmacy area. It could be fungus or could just be irritated from sweat. You can also spray or apply deodorant to those spots before working out to keep the areas from getting wet. Be sure to cleanse the rash and apply a nice thick layer of moisturizer at night and in the morning when you are not working out. Do not itch the area because if it is fungus it can spread. You can ask anyone that works at the pharmacy where you might fight these products. They are usually by the shoe pads and shoe odor spray sections in the health care isles.|||yes it might be caused by your choice of workout wear. stick with cotton, they allow skin to breath easily. also remember to changeyour gym clothes after every workout so that bacteria would not acumulate and irritate your skin. use a bit of aloe gel on the red areas to treat the itchiness and redness.|||Perhaps your clothes are creating friction against your skin? The wrong clothes can be irritating to skin. Try loose fitting cotton for your work out gear. Another possibility of the origin of the rash is heat rash. When you sweat, your skin can develop red bumps and even become itchy. If it doesn't go away soon, I'd recommend you make an appointment to see a dermatologist!|||There could be many reasons - make sure you wipe down the seats and equipment parts your be handling with a disinfectant towel before and after you use the equipment.





Make sure you shower properly after you workout and not left the sweat dry on your skin.





Wear light looser breathable clothing or try climacool or body armor gear. Remember if you're going to the gym you're going there to workout for you and your health -it isnt a dating service - so dress comfortably not necessarily tight and sexy.





Make sure you change and wash your gym wear at least every 2 workouts.





Have the rash below your arms checked by your pharmacist and ask if they could recomend somthing to help you.

Penile infections





Discharge from the penis


Gonorrhea causes a thick white, yellow or green discharge from the tip of the penis.





Sore on the penis


In primary syphilis a hard, painless sore appears on the penis. This is usually accompanied by swelling of the surrounding glands.





Penis pain or discomfort


Pain or discomfort can sometimes be a sign of sexual infection.This may be associated with pain when passing urine. You may also have a discharge with this type of infection.





Ulcer Ulcers on the penis


These ulcers can be a symptom of syphilis. A syphilitic ulcer is called a chancroid.


They begin as small painful pimples that break down to soft ragged ulcers. These ulcers bleed easily. The glands are also often swollen as well.





Specks on hair around the penis


Tiny black, greyish brown eggs on the pubic hair shafts may be a sign of infestation of lice.





Rash on and around the penis


A rash on or near the penis may be scabies. This infestation burrows beneath the skin causing irritation and itching.





Genital herpes causes red spots and blisters on the penis, as well as the scrotum, thigh and on the buttocks.


If you are experiencing any of these symptoms it is important that you go see a doctor for a diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Diabetes?Do I have it? Help?

I am thinking I may have diabetes. I started having the following symptoms (skin rashes, frequent urination, hungry all the time, extremely thirsty, numbness and tingling in hands) for last 3 months %26amp; ignored them (because I had them on and off for last several years), now things are getting worse (seemed like my kidneys’re hurting?), so I am going to find a doctor (I live in a very small town with a few docs, %26amp; mine left about 6 months ago)%26amp; make appointment as soon as I can (I made some calls on Fri %26amp; found out a doc with the earliest open date is little over a month).





I should mention, me, my family %26amp; friends we all are so blessed to live healthy. So I did not know anything about diabetes until I checked out some excellent websites. Has any of you experienced cracked upper lips and rashes on both upper and lower eyelids and they seemed flair up on every other day %26amp; get so itchy and scaly? I am just wondering if these particular problems are part of the diabetes symptoms?|||Dear "possible diabetic",





Your symptoms point to diabetes. The hallmark symptoms (the triad: increased urination, increased thirst, increased hunger) are most likely due to diabetes, however, without proper diagnosis it is impossible to say that is definitely what you have. It is imperative that you make an appointment with ANY doctor or primary care provider to further assess your situation.





If it is in fact diabetes, and you are not keeping tight glycemic control, it is likely you will develop other complications. This may be the reason for why you are experiencing dry skin and skin rashes. Below I've included a link to a site that lists the many skin infections and rashes that are commonly experienced by diabetics. If diabetes is left untreated it can lead to more serious complications such as vision problems/blindness, cardiac complications, and circulation deficits (particularly to your limbs, which may lead to a necessary amputation.)





Good luck with everything.








Stay healthy.








Kari, RN|||yes you seem to have some of the diabetetic symptoms. my husband, and several of my family members have diabetes. Yes it do work on your kidneys, heart, etc.it will give you dry skin. you should go to the doctor he will give you a blood test to see if it is diabetes. don't be afraid if you have it it can be controlled with meds. and diet. the main thing is to find out if you have it so you can get treated. I hope this answer helps. I believe everything will work out good for you.Just continue to trust God.|||You do seem to have some diabetic symptoms. Measure your waist line, if it is over 30 inches, you may want to get a doctor straight away. If diabetes runs in your family, it could increase the risk of you getting it. The best thing is to look up on the internet the exact symptoms of diabetes (they usually tell you how you can tell if you have diabetes) and if any of them occur to you, then consult your doctor ASAP.Good luck and i hope for the best!! xxx|||get urself checked, (blood drawn), because those are symptomes of 1. diabetes, and 2. lukemia.

Get a fasting glucose tolerance test done, and also an HbA1c. Then you will know for sure one way or the other.





In the meantime, drink 7 to 8 glasses of plain water a day, because its your bodies way of getting rid of excess sugar when you are diabetic. Drinking too much water can cause an electrolyte imbalance, leading to heart arrythmias, so do NOT overdo it.





Avoid all sugar, fruit and starchy foods such as bread, potatoes, rice and pasta, until you know for sure you are not diabetic.





If you turn out to actually be diabetic, at least you will have cut down the excess carbs until you can get insulin or other treatment.

STD?? urologist can't diagnose me?

i might have contracted a STD because i noticed multiple skin rashes/sores that itch and sting on the back side on my shaft. i haven't really noticed any rises or bumps, but it is something that doesn't totally go away. the pain comes and goes and can look worse at times, but i always feel discomfort maybe irriation when i adjust or scratch my groin area through my pants. i had a few white discharges, so without being diagnosed i was given levaquin to kill any infection that might be there. i haven't had any discharges really since, but i do have urine drippage upon sitting down or bending over after urination. my penis tends to smell often even though i wash it all the time. i was tested negative for HIV and i believe they tested for syphillis at that time too although unsure. urologist can't tell if it is or isn't herpes, because the rashes/sores change very slightly in appearance from time to time, but does hurt worse at times.

Skin Problem!!!???

I have his red rash like thing on my arms, it sorta looks like razor burn. But i dont shave my arms so that cant be it. its also not exama. I have been to two different demitoligists and they both say there is nothing i can do for it. I know there has to be something to help with. since it is getting warmer i am wearing short sleves and tank tops and this thing on my arm makes me feel very bad about myself. If there is aything you can suggest please tell me|||It's called keratosis polaris ... it's a very common genetic condition affecting an estimated 40 to 50% of the adult population and approximately 50 to 80% of all adolescents. It is manifested by the appearance of rough bumps on the skin and referred to as "chicken skin". It most often appears on the back and outer sides of the upper arms and can also occur on the thighs and tops of legs, flanks and buttocks.





It occurs as excess keratin, a natural protein in the skin, accumulates within the hair follicles forming hard plugs. Though people with keratosis pilaris experience this condition year round, it’s during the colder months when moisture levels in the air are lower that the problem can become exacerbated and the “goose bumps” are apt to look and feel more pronounced in color and texture.





There is currently no known cure however, there are effective treatments available which make its symptoms less apparent. The condition often improves with age and can even disappear completely in adulthood, though some will show signs of keratosis pilaris for life. Treatments are largely symptomatic and must be repeated. Regardless, exfoliation, intensive moisturizing cremes, lac-hydrin, Retin A and medicated lotions containing alpha hydroxy acids or urea may be used to temporarily improve the appearance and texture of affected skin. Milk baths may provide some cosmetic improvement due to the lactic acid — a natural alpha hydroxy acid in milk. Sunlight may also be helpful but increases risk of skin cancer. Small amounts of vitamin A can be used orally but only with exteme caution due to potential for liver damage. Check with a Dermatologist or Family Doctor before taking extra vitamin A due to the vitamins' potential toxic effects.





Scratching and picking at the bumps causes them to redden (if they do not already appear red), and in many cases will cause bleeding. Excessive picking can lead to scarring. Wearing clothing that is looser around the affected areas can also help reduce the marks, as constant chafing from clothing (such as tight fitting jeans) is similar to repeatedly scratching the bumps.





Food allergies may also exacerbate the condition, causing hyper-keratosis pilaris, gluten being a common culprit.|||try microdermabration. you know those rotating brushes.|||Maybe its an allergy? Or maybe it is acne, use a loofah to scrub and open the pores, sit in the tub, moisturize, ... basically treat that skin nicely! Try it for a week and see if it helps.|||That sounds like Keratosis pilaris(kara-toe-sis pill-air-is) a condition in which the skin exhibits redness ans irritation in patch-like patterns, accompanied by a rough texture and small pinpoint papules. It's a oil gland disorder,MOST doctors have been successful in treating it by glycolic or lactic acid solutions. Make sure you talk to a good dermatologist about it ans not try doing a treatment yourself.|||Sounds like keratosis pilaris to me.

Red spot on chest and clearasil made it rash?

I thought i had a zit on my chest and put clearasil on it for two nights and now i have like 3 pin size little bumps near it and it itches. was this a allergic reaction to the clearasil? will aveeno lotion be ok to put on it since it is my breast and the skin is so sensitive there?|||Most likely it was an allergic reaction to the clearasil, but you should check with your doctor before putting anything else on it, keep it clean and dry, no lotions or perfumes, that might aggravate it even more, The doctor can prescribe some anitbiotics. Only they know what that so called zit might really be!!! Be careful and pay attention to it!!! Let him know of any changes in color or size and if it is painful!!!|||Try washing it first with basic soap, such as Ivory. Don't put anything on it until you wash it. If it still itches, try something like Benedryl lotion, which will help with the itching and also help with the rash.





If it says longer than a week, make an appointment with a dr. or dermotologist who can prescribe a prescription if it is a rash.

Help with my nine-month old's facial rash??

Thanks for reading. Several weeks ago, my baby developed a small, round, red rough patch of skin on her face. I tried using several things to get it to go down, but it kept getting worse. Recently it spread to her cheeks and became crusty %26amp; inflamed. I took her to the first doctor, who said it was a bacterial infection %26amp; prescribed oral antibiotics %26amp; cream. The next day it was worse, so I took her to another doctor who said it was eczema %26amp; to use a moisturiser. The next morning she woke up and her eye was swollen %26amp; red, so I took her to a third doctor, who said it was school sores (which it isn't). He said to stop the antibiotics %26amp; use steriod cream. He suggested oral steriods if the cream didn't work %26amp; since a cream wouldn't help the eye, I asked for the oral, which seems to help temporarily.

The itching will begin to lessen as the rash begins to heal. Do be careful, as poison ivy actually gets into the bloodstream, and where you casually scratch someplace else could cause an eruption (poison ivy is not spready by touching it). If OTC calamine and an anti-itch lotions and creams, and washing with oatmeal soap are not controlling the itching, or you find other spots of rash popping up, it would behoove you to see a doctor and get some medication which will clear it up in a couple of days, with relief felt almost immediately. Poison ivy should be dealt with as quickly as possible as where the rash has been can make the skin more sensitive to sun for some time after, and even leave scarring on some people. For your future reference, Tech-nu makes two products for poison ivy and oak; one is a pre-application that prevents the rash from developing, and one is a wash that will prevent the rash if the poison ivy is treated within 20 minutes of contact (generally available in garden and hardware stores and the like.|||My boys have poison ivey a lot.

Skin Problems?

I have this rash where my armpits are. It itches and burns. It went away for like three weeks then it came back during the beginning of last week. It is a dark pink color but doesn't have clearly defined edges. I have used benedral medication. Benedral topical lotions seems to help for a very short period. Have tried calamine lotions doesn't even help. I used antifungal lotion for two weeks didn't seem to do anything. Then I stopped using a deodarant I was using and then it went away for a short period. Then it came back even though I am not using the deodrant. I would go to the doctor but I don't want to wait for the oppointed and just have it go away. Plus I am a college student. I have a boyfriend but I am not sure if I should tell him about it or not I don't know how he would take it. I don't think it is spreadable because nobody that I live with has got it. Can anyone offer me any help.|||You need to see your GP. Make an appointment .|||There are a lot of possibilities. Do you shave under your arms? If so notice when you are shaving and if it corresponds to the time the rash breaks out. If so then the razor is to sharp, or not sharp enough, and you are cutting open the skin which can look like a rash.





Also how much water are you drinking? Since your arm pits are one of the areas where your body excretes toxins it could be that there is not enough sweet to purge out the toxins. The general rule for water is take your weight, divide it by 50 pounds and multiply that times 1 1/2 quarts of water. That is the target water intake a day. Start slowly though, and work your way up to it. Consider cutting out fatty foods ~ because they can cause your pores to clog, as well as acid food until your rash clears up. Complex sugar can also be cut out. Your body could be out of balance.





Call your doctors office and see if they have any ideas.|||Try the following:





*aloe vera gel from the leaf





*full strength tea tree oil

My son is 2 months and got a rash on his body it is all over him what is that?

I DON'T THINK ITS HEAT BUMPS BECAUSE HIS SKIN IS ROUGH AND DRY LIKE WHAT IS THAT|||it could be ezecma i'd take him to the doctor, use unsented lotion on him. but go see the doc|||Could be an allergic reaction. Take him to a pediatrician and have him recommend a dermatologist or allergy specialist.|||Has he had a fever in the last three days. Infants get a viral infection called roseola quite often and the rash looks a little different from child to child. I would take him to the doctor to be checked out. If you have a good pediatrician, they should have no problem seeing him for a rash.|||I t could be exema, try switching laundry detergents and check with your doctor.|||Could also be hand, foot, and mouth disease, which can be common in kids at times. Either way, take him to his doc.|||He may be allergic to something and if you're for sure its not heat rash it may be eczema. Its where the skin becomes dry and itchy and comes in red blotches all over the skin. It can be treated with hydro-cortisone cream. I think the best thing to do right away is take him to the doctor so he wont be miserable any longer than he has to.|||he probably has Rosieole a common thing for babies if he is eating only mother's milk - if you are giving him formula then he could have an allergy





Don't worry - but yes let his doc look at him

Weird Skin Things? Urticaria or what?

Okay bear with me here.


I have had urticaria for a few years. I lived with it and carried on. It only gave me problems in the evenings and if i got hot at work.


Now i have been having a reaction to water for a while. Even if i just wash my face, i get a red rash and it feels hot to touch.


Its not a reaction to soap as i have used different types. Its not hard or soft water areas as i have been in both and i get the same reaction. Its annoying as i look like a beetrot if i just wash my face.





Any clues?|||No but you could see a dermatologist or Herbal medical practitioner...
