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?

Skin condition?

for three years i have had a rash on my lower leg on the shin area.sometimes they are like blisters but lately they are just purpulish raised areas.when i get stressed they itch and hurt.i have been to the doctor had a biopsy and i even went to a dematologist he just said don't scratch.i think i have psoriasis.i had two brothers who had it and when i described it to my brother he said it sounds like it.i have started putting a and d ointment on it it seems to help.anyone have any other advice?|||I had a rash on my eyes and neither the dermatologist, nor the opthalmologist, nor the general practitioner were able to help me. My ex-husband told me to take an amino acid called lysine and it helped me.|||Crushed aspirin mixed with Lanocaine.|||Did your Dr also test for Erythema Nodosum when he/she did the biopsy? Symptoms can be similar to what you describe.

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.

I have got a red rash on a part of my penis?

It is not an STD beause I did not have sex with anyone. It bled today when I was masturbating. I think it is like raw skin that rubbed off but I want to be sure. What you think it is? I think I got it from masturbating but I never touch the bottom of my penis when masturbating. When I say bottom I mean the end closest to your body.|||i got the smae thing, but it wasn't bleeding. i thought it was from jacking off too. so, i don't think its a problem...|||go to the doctors not yahoo answers





oh yeah and ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww|||STDs come in all shapes and sizes and can lurk in your system until you are low. Get to an STD clinic fast and hope and pray.|||I puked after reading this anyway you sure really go to a doctor before something really bad happens|||Go -To -The -Doctor
