Please help me!
My body is very effected with some sort of disease?
My hands and feet have some allergic reaction and are swelled up.
And the rest of my body has this rash which makes my body look red and non-stop scratching.
And I have not got bitten by anything or animal of any sort.
Please give me some advice on the disease and how to stop it.|||It must be something u ate. Stuffs that werent allergic earlier could have an opposite reaction.
In the case of allergy, if u stop having whatever is causing u the allergy, in a few days time it should subsidise, as what ever u ate earlier would pass out as stools leaving no trace in ur body of whatever is causing u allergy.Allergies could be fatal, figure out when u eat what, does the allergic reaction start, usually allergic reaction would start once the food is taken, that is within 10min - 2 hours,
make a note of what u ate. Like i have milk allergy, i didnt know until i realised i was having something that my body didnt like, slowly started chking food stuffs one by one and later figured out diary products arent for me.
Swelling is another sign of Kidney trouble, drink plenty of water,
i just found this article , something similar to ur problem
http://www.steadyhealth.com/itchy_rash_a...
http://www.intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSI...
Drink plenty of boiled warm water.At this point hygiene is very important, sterilise what u intend to use, ur body is harmed, try to protect it, dont eat junk food, avoid liquor, smoking, take as much care as possible, use heavy oil based creams, something like dove intensive cream, nivea (blue colour tin)aveeno body lotion.. whatever that helps ur finger to slide down, on ur skin
While sitting elevate ur leg on a chair, so that the swelling doesnt increase,
Have a good day|||you really need to get to a doctor right away.|||Is this a sudden occurrence? Have you ever experienced this before?
It may be an allergy; so it is best that you know exactly what triggered your reaction. Irritants can be specific foods, dust mites, pollen, etc.
If you are unable to stop the swelling, best is to see a doctor immediately.|||if i were you i would start taking benadryl, incase it is an allergic reaction. and see a dermatologist ASAP.|||It sounds like a severe allergy reaction, if I were you I'd get my buns into Dr. ASAP.

Sensitive skin?
My legs feel like they are burning, the inside of my thighs, and that do not touch,
there are no rash or red marks. What's going on?|||Sounds like a reaction to either soap, water, or your clothes.
If its soap, you have to change the soap you wash with and use moisturizer after each shower. You should change to something that is fragrance free like Cetaphil. Same goes for the lotion. Either Cetaphil or Eucerine.
If you have municipal water. it could be the chemical additives they use to kill bacteria. It's usually chlorine, and usually at very high levels. If you own your home, you could get a water softener and carbon filter, that would take care of anything that could be irritating your skin. If you rent, you could get a chlorine filter for your shower head. They are usually sold in natural food stores and online.
If it's your laundry soap. You should change to something that is free from dyes, perfumes, and optical brighteners.
I would recommend Seventh Generation brand if you can get it. Some people do do fine with Tide free and clear.
You could also try only wearing cotton clothes and avoiding anything made from wool, cashmier, and man made fibers.|||See your doctor.

Dry skin please help really gettin' me down :(?
I have just recoverd from a rash which i reccon was slapped cheek. The doctor didn't know what it was and gave me antibiotics to take to help clear it up. It cleared up on Friday and is now really itchy and dry. Its all flaking off. He gave me some aqueous cream to have and i have literally pasted it on and its still dry and itchy and sore and erugh!!
Any suggestions?|||how about some almond oil/moisturising lotion|||i get really bad dried skin and the only thing that sorts it out is the good old OIL OF ULAY. my mrs goes mad at me nicking her make up........specially her lipstick.....joke.|||i am afraid you will just have to wait untill it clears up on its own as if the aqueous cream dnt wrk thn i dnt think ne thin will.|||you could try a very gentle facial scrub to remove some of the dead skin - then try breaking a vitamin E capsule and putting the neat oil on it. The aqueous cream WILL eventually do the job though.|||Don't scratch, try apply virgin coconut oil (VCO). Drink plenty of water, and don't exposed it to sun light.|||the aqueous cream is one of the better creams out there, but you only need to use a little ammout. the skin will need tie to heal.|||Oh dear try e 45|||The Italians swear by Olive oil; Sophia Loren the film star, always added a couple of tablespoons to her bath water.
I use it on my cuticles and it keeps them looking good even though I'm a gardener who refuses to wear gloves.
Its cheap, readily available and worth a try before spending a fortune on manufactured skin products.
If you find it doesn't work, you've lost nothing and can then try the many moisturisers on the market.
Just a side comment - I didn't get stretch marks from pregnancies - just rubbed olive oil into my tum every night.|||i have very dry skin on my face, in certain areas.
i am at present using the aqueous cream to help that, what i suggest is that you do not use any soap on your face and just was water, the aqueous cream will wash your face like the soap. i then reapply the cream for the day.
at night i wash my face and put the cream on thicker than the day.
you also have got to remember that dry skin can take a few weeks to clear up.
however, suggest you go and see the doctor again, just make sure that treatment is working.|||recommand Namyang Aloe's Hydrocapture mask !!
Intensive hydration mask provides moisture in a short period of time, especially effective to dry skin caused by external factors such as air conditioning or heating.
One whole bottle in one sheet mask gives the skin intensive treatment of hydration.
Moisture is captured like a magnet by Univera’s unique technology Hydro Capturing Complex. Leaves even the driest skin supple and comfortable.
[Direction] 1-2 times a week, use after Balancing Toner. Place mask to fit face. Leave on face for 10-15 minutes until essence is sufficiently absorbed.

Has anyone used baking soda to treat a diaper rash?
My little girl (6mo) has very sensitive skin. Saturday, we both slept pretty long and when I went to change her, she had a massive poop and she was red as a tomato.
Is baking soda safe? What are some alternatives besides vaseline and a%26amp;d that would help it go away faster?|||It won't treat it but it will work like baby powder. So if your baby has it you need to get some thing that will work to get ride of it there are lots of good stuff. But no baking powder won't make the diaper rash better it will help it no happen when it;s not there.

Home treatment is usually all that is needed for most cases of diaper rash. At the first sign of a diaper rash, try the following steps.
Decrease skin wetness and minimize skin contact with urine and stool.
Change the diaper or incontinence brief frequently, at least 8 times every 24 hours.
Use a superabsorbent disposable diaper.
Gently wash the diaper area with warm water and a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
Do not use any soap unless the area is very soiled. Use only a mild soap if soap is needed.
Do not use "baby wipes" that contain alcohol or propylene glycol to clean the skin while a diaper rash is present. These may burn the skin and spread bacteria on the skin.
You may use a blow-dryer set on warm setting to get the diaper area fully dry on adults. Do not use a blow dryer on babies or small children.
Leave diapers and incontinence briefs off as much as possible.
Protect the healthy skin near the rash with a cream such as Desitin, Diaparene, A%26amp;D Ointment, or zinc oxide. Do not apply the cream to broken skin, because it can slow the healing process.
If you use a disposable product, fold the plastic area away from the body, and do not put the diaper on too tightly. Avoid bulky or many-layered diapers or incontinence briefs.
Avoid using plastic pants until the rash is gone.
Increase fluid intake to make the urine less concentrated. Cranberry juice may be used by adults and children over 12 months of age. Do not use other juices, which may make the urine more irritating to the skin.
If the diaper rash continues without improvement for several days, try the following steps.
Soak in a warm bath for 10 minutes, 3 times a day, if the skin is very raw.
For babies and young children, add 2 Tbsp (30 mL) of baking soda to a baby tub or basin of warm water. Remember, do not bathe a baby until the umbilical cord has fallen off, and never leave a child alone while he or she is in the bath.
Have older children and adults sit in a bathtub with a few inches of warm water or use a sitz bath.
If you use a disposable product, change brands or switch to a cloth product. Try a superabsorbent disposable diaper or brief with absorbent gelling material (AGM), which pulls moisture away from the skin. Some people are less likely to develop a rash with one diapering product than another.
If you use a cloth product, switch to a disposable product. The cloth or the products used to clean the cloth diaper may be contributing to the rash.
If you use cloth and don't want to switch to a disposable product, change detergents.
Rinse diapers or briefs twice when washing.
Use vinegar in the final rinse at a strength of 1 fl oz (29.6 mL) vinegar to 1 gal (3.8 L) of water.
When treating a diaper rash:
Do not use a nonprescription adult vaginal yeast medication on a baby or child. Check with your health professional before using any product designed for an adult on a baby or child.
Do not use baby powder while a rash is present. The powder can build up in the skin creases and hold moisture, allowing the growth of bacteria that may cause infection.
Do not use cornstarch on a rash in the diaper area. Cornstarch also allows bacteria to grow.
Symptoms to Watch For During Home Treatment
Use the Check Your Symptoms section to evaluate your symptoms if any of the following occur during home treatment.
A rash in the diaper area gets worse after 24 hours or does not improve after 48 to 72 hours of home treatment.
A rash in the diaper area looks like a rash on other parts of the body.
White patches appear in the mouth.
Pimples, blisters, open weeping sores, boils, or crusts develop in the diaper area.
Signs of infection develop.
Symptoms become more severe or frequent.
If need more go here|||Go to your local drug store and ask them for Triple Paste it is pretty expensive but seems to be one of the most effective treatments for diaper rash and various other things.|||Baking soda in a nice warm bath with help a lot! Aloe vera is good for cooling the area after. Good luck!|||I have this stuff from walmart called Butt Paste. lol it works and smells pretty good
a%26amp;d does work good too but i also like Balmex daily protective clear ointment. It is really thick and works good.
Just change her a little more often til it clears and reapply generously at each change.|||I would think if she has sensitive skin, the baking soda would be harsh, but corn starch will work and it is gentler.|||Oatmeal based baths work really well. If you don't feel comfortable making this homeade remedy at home then buy something called Aveeno. It has no chemicals and is all natural based. No matter what you use, there is no quick treatment. Her skin will heal before you know it, just be persistent in your treatment.|||Talcum powder is better. Frequent changes help. Baking soda is abrasive.|||I haven't used baking soda, but baby powder works well. Let it air dry for a while, that will help too. By that I mean take her out of the diaper, maybe outside the house for a while until it gets dry.|||Back when my girls were babies I would sprinkle the baking soda right in their bath water. I did not apply it directly to their skin. It seemed to be soothing for them and safe!|||NO!! not baking soda! its caustic and will burn like hell in a moist place like that.
Bathe her, powder her, and leave her diaper off her for a few hours. Double up a blanket a few times, lay it on the floor and let her play there. OR better yet, its warm out, take her outside and let her play naked out there.
Do that a few times a day until it clears. Use powders instead of creams as a preventive measure. creams are treatments for when there is a rash. Powder keeps the moisture and friction away to avoid the rash in the first place.
Air is always always helpful.|||It isn't baking soda they use cornstarch. Lightly dust the baby's bottom with cornstarch. Don't cake it on there and make sure his/hers bottom is completely dry or it will stick|||Two things I've found work better than desitin or A%26amp;D are called Dr. Smith's Diaper Rash Cream which you can ask the pharmacist for and they will give it to you from behind the counter without a prescription or Boudreaux' Butt Paste at WalMart. I prefer DR. Smith's and the hospitals use it too, so it must be good. It will clear up redness very quickly. It worked for all of my kids who had such sensitive skin they would get open bleeding areas on their bottoms until I found Dr. Smith's!!|||Baking soda in the bath water...yes....applied to the skin...NO! it would sting. Here are some good old fashioned remedies that work......let the babies bottom air dry a couple of times a day.....use corn starch as a powder--it draws the moisture away from the skin.....try A%26amp;D ointment or good old Destin cream--these creams when applied to completely dry skin, make a barrier that keeps wettness away from the skin....change the babies diaper as often as practicle....is there something in the disposable diaper that is irritating the skin--try a different brand. If all else fails, ask your pediatrician, they can prescribe very effective ointments or creams.|||NO BAKING SODA!! It's true, it will burn like HE**. You should use something gentler, like cornstarch (just sprinkle some like baby powder), or get a baby powder made with cornstarch, just make sure to wash it off with each diaper change and reapply. If the diaper rash persists for more than a couple of days, or reappears more than once every two weeks or so, you should go to your pediatrician. Ask for DESONIDE cream. It works, and is often used in the treatment of excema and skin rashes. :D Good luck.

Weird skin phenomenon?
i used to have a scar on my knee shaped like russia. it disappeared. recently, i developed a rash in the exact shape of my old scar. it is in the exact same shape in the same area. its very bizaree. i was wondering why this is so and if i should be concerned about it. thanks.|||You should be concerned about it and see the doctor. Mght be something really minor but then you will be relaxed once you know the reason.
Severe swallowing problems and lupus?
My doctor thinks I may have lupus- I have had swallowing problems for 4 yrs, on and off clotting issues, migraines, hair loss, joint pain, extreme fatigue, skin rashes, cold spells, and "bulging eye". I'm down to 75 pounds and I can't eat normally- I have to chew my food and spit it out to avoid choking to death on every bite. I am not anorexic or bulimic- I'm always hungry !! I can't work or live a normal life and my doc has ordered blood tests (12 of them) that are all related to lupus) My mom had it and she also had one of the worst cases of R/A in the country.
Does anyone else have these symptoms? and how do you cope?
I'm 42 and hoping to reach 43.|||Hi, I'm a lupus patient and I know almost exactly what you're going through. I am so sorry!!I am also very sorry for your mom.
Are you seeking help through a Rheumatologist?
I am also very cold and have a hard time swallowing. For the longest time, they thought I had an eating disorder, too, until they found out that I am a Celiac patient - which is also an auto immune disorder. If you cannot chew, please find a way to drink some nutrition. You need to feed your body something or you really will not make it to 43. Know that you are cared about.
I am constantly in pain and it hurts to sit, stand and even lie down. Tired doesn't even begin to describe the fatigue. This, unfortunately, comes with the territory. Your doctor will have to help you address this. I pray that he/she can.
Lupus has many overlapping disorders. IF you do come back positive for lupus, please don't panic. Know that there are over a million people out there like you and I. Most probably many more that they haven't identified.
I know that you know the medicines have side effects and you already feel crappy. Stay out of the UV light, don't eat alfalfa, get rest, listen to your good Rheumatologist and read as much as you can on autoimmune disease.
We are here for you...please don't hesitate to write.
We take one day at a time and it hurts and we struggle, but laugh, cry and talk and write each other through it all.
Good luck and take care. We wish you the best for you and your family.

HELP..I have a rash on my rod, its greenish puss with redish black bumps?
I am scared and my Doctor said he cant see me until next week. I spread on my rod and under my sack. Sometimes when I change underwear there is green puss stuff on them.
Sorry for gross detail but I am starting to get worried. Oh and skin it starting to peel just a tad around bumps.|||Definitely some type of STD. If your doctor can't see you, go to a clinic ASAP. Green puss could also be a sign of a bad infection.|||sounds like an STD, better get yourself to the doctor quick.|||If you can't go do your Doc until next week, go to a free health clinic. Your symptoms sounds like some sort of infection since there is a sign of puss. Any fever? Keep the area dry. 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.
Hope everything goes ok x
