My Dog Has a bad rash all over his face.?

His face looks horrible. It's like all of his fur around his face is gone and now hes got huge scabs of blood on his face. He also has a little bit on his foot. Everyday it looks worse. Now he has yellow gooey stuff in his eye Me, my mom, and my grandma don't know what to do. We put this blue stuff called "Benadene Hot spot Skin Remedy" on it but all it does is dry it out and make it itchy.Can u help us? Please and Thank u.|||Take him to a vet. My dad's dog had a similar problem, and it turned out it was her diet. My dad kept feeding her fresh food and scraps from the kitchen. The Vet gave a a few injections and a medicated shampoo, but the most important advice she gave him was to ensure the dog only ate dogfood. Our food is far too rich for them.|||Take it to a vet!|||It could be a parasite. I would suggest a vet before it gets worse.|||Take him to the vet, he's got a bigger problem.|||hes probably sniffed somebody with jock itch lolol|||You need to take your dog to a vet right away. If he is bleeding that is bad. He can die from infection.|||go to the vet|||Do you have a golden retriever? They call them hot spots, they get to hot and sweaty, they lick it raw or dig with their claws. Sometimes if they don't dry good after getting wet it causes rashes. Take him to the vet.|||take the dog to a vet - it sounds like the dog might have mange, especially if it's a younger dog, as this kind of thing can be more common in younger dogs.





don't panic, though, mange generally sounds worse than it is if you treat it - basically it's an infection from a kind of small tick that is easily treatable.





the important thing to do is go see a vet, though.|||MY GOD!


What does it take for some people to take their pets to the vet. this one really irritates me, your dog should have been at the vets office when this first accoured, sounds like you mom and grandma don't give a hoot about your dogs welfare, If you cant do it right best give up the dog where it can have a proper home and get the proper attention. hope your other two dogs are in better shape.

My new born has a rash on his face.?

most of my older family members tell me its from kissing the baby on the face. they constantly get upset at me cuz i do. and that its also cuz my husband has a mustach and it irritates the babys skin when he kisses him. is this true??? it looks like tiny red pimples on his forehead and nose and some on his cheecks. what you think it is? does it go away?|||anyone who tells you not to kiss your baby should be hit with a shovel ( merry christmas ) as long as ur husbands mustach is clean everything is ok babies get rashes and they get acne its honestly totally normal|||a rash after your newborn is normal and chances are it will go away fast. There is NOTHING wrong with kisses for your baby. You love him/her theres no reason you shouldnt. It could also be baby achne which will also go away after time.|||Both of my babies had it at birth. It will most likely last about a week to 10 days. Don' t put anything on it at all. Just clean the babies face a few times a day with a washcloth and water, nothing else. it will go away on its own. It is best not to kiss the babies face as their skin is very sensitive right now. It is called baby acne, don't worry. Just wipe is with a cloth and water and it will be gone soon. Congratulations!|||yeah, it's probably just pimples...newborns usually get them anyways, wether it's from kissing or whatever else, i don't know, but it is normal.|||babies have delicate skin, but what ever you do dont stop kissing him. if it doesnt go away take him to the doctor|||its just that. babies get baby acne. It will go away just fine.|||it could be the laundry deterent you are using. try dreft for awhile. make sure you do there laundry by there self. my son had same problem looks bad. but it cleared up so I could get a good picture.

Extremely itchy skin problem?

For about 2 months now I have had certain places in my body itch. (left hand wrist, under knees, left small spot upper chest) They itch so much I have developed a red circle "rash" on my wrist. What can be the cause? It gets even more itchy when I get out of the shower. I have been using the same soap as always.|||Go to the emergency room. It could be ringworm.|||Use itch creme|||It may be something so simple as just the weather. Alot of people get itchy skin in the winter due to the lack of humidity in the air and your skin getting no moisture. Also, people tend to neglect moisturizing in the winter because you aren't showing off your skin. Lotion up right after you towel off from the shower...every day! If it isn't better in a few weeks, see a dermatologist.


By the way..do you live in apartments or close to other people? Someone may have gotten a new pet that has brought along little "friends".

Surgery and Skin Condition?

Im having surgery on june 14th.





My eczema is pretty bad right now,





Can they cut through the rash?


or does it have to clear up first?





:)|||i have severe psoriasis and i use a product called Lucas's Paw Paw ointment... it can be a little greasy but it helps with the dryness. its great for eczema..|||call the surgeon.

I woke up on Friday with what looked liked a rash on my face from the cheek bone down to my chin area.?

I have not gone to see a derma. specialist but I may have to. The red has gone aways but the skin on my face still feels different. It is dry and chaffing I have never had something like this anyone know what this is or has had?|||I'd say a possible allergic reaction. Maybe a bite and a histamine response. Most other things it could be don't come on that quickly. Go see a doc, doesn't have to be a dermatologist (they are more expensive).|||Go to the doc's!|||could be from irritating it with something. check web md.com|||Did you change Laundry soap? some people react to that.|||Did you eat anything you usually don't? Sounds like an alergy.|||I had that once and I had to use some kind of lotion...chorzone I cant remember the doctor gave it to me so that was good...but i would just go and see if there is something at walmart for rashes.|||Ewww!! Gross!!!!!!!!!!!|||it could be a condition called Rosacea


its quite common|||It might be rosacea. Ask you doc about that. Or maybe contact dermatitis, a reaction to something your face has come in contact with.|||sounds like contact dermatitis, especially if it is only in one particular area. Do you sleep on that side? Did you use different lotion, cream, soap, perfume, sprays, etc.... recently? Were your bedsheets washed in new detergent or new fabric softener or something? Usually if you get some hydrocortisone cream on the rash and that takes it away, it means it was some sort of sensitivity or allergic reaction to something that came in contact with your cheek. Aloe vera is great for skin ailments too, so you can give that a try.|||If the area feels painful or itches like crazy, it could be a case of shingles.





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.





If the skin breaks out again, itches, gets painful, turns red or anything else bothersome, I would seek medical attention.|||sounds like an allergic reaction to something...does it itch? try and think of what you did on friday, or if you were around anything new that you dont normally come in contact with (new beauty product, cleaning product, animal, etc.). if you can pin it to something, go see a doctor and have it tested.





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?





edit: wow, i'm slow lol|||Maybe its nothing, but It sounds like it might be an autoimmune disease called lupus, which is sometimes accompanied by what is called a butterfly rash on the face. See your doctor.

Help? Any Vet Techs? Dog has instant red, itchy, bumpy, rash reaction?

Earlier today, my dog (70 lbs) went outside to go to the bathroom. Upon returning, she had hive-like bumps all over her, and her skin is extremely red. She is extremely itchy as well. Any pre-diagnostics before the vet office tomorrow?


:) Thanks





fyi-we called the vet and he prescribed a 25 mg Benadryl pill, which she took. the symptoms returned?|||sounds like an allergic reaction of some sort. sometimes Benadryl doesn't work on dogs just like people. So your vet may give an injection and stronger antihistamine.|||Probably a reaction to a bee sting. If the dog doesn't get better or seems worse then do not wait until tomorrow to see a vet.


Could also be a reaction to getting in a fire ant hill? Not sure of your location but I suspect insect of some sort to cause this so suddenly.|||Sounds like an allergic reaction, which you probably already suspected. Dogs can get up to 1mg/lb Benadryl , in other words, your dog can safely take 70 mg of Benadryl if she is indeed 70 lbs.





You already gave 25 mg, and could give her another 45 mg, which would be about 1 3/4 tablets. She will probably be sleepy but we use Benadryl all the time in dogs, at that dosage.





If she starts to have trouble breathing/swollen face or throat, that is an emergency and she needs to be seen right away.|||could be allergies, though if they've never shown up before then that's not likely. she could've gotten into something and had a bad reaction. if it didn't just 'appear', but it's gradually showed up - you might not have noticed til now - then it could be a hotspot, which is just a mild skin infection that can be treated with no big deal.|||How long has it been since the last dose of benadryl? If over 4 hours, give another dose. If that doesn't help call the vet again and see if you should take her in.|||"omg, some people are so ignorant"


I'm sorry about your dog, but i just wanted you to see that it's not nice to say that about someone you misunderstood.

Large dog w/red pus rash all over underside, along w/cysts and even pus eyes....?

help.....my dog has had skin disorders since puppihood. it is now worsened in his older age w/cyst -like swellings that come and go in areas on his underside. docs say its a fungi type allergy - but nothing ever rids it completely... help??? is this curable?.|||First you do not state how old the dog is? Point to note dogs and skin the link is 'protein'. As Dogs get older they cannot handle high protein in their food, so go for the lowest dog food protein value. It will take a time to look at all the brands and protein values. My Dog had a skin itch and was given steroids, not that it helped. I then met a person who told me the above, started my dog on low protein food and no further problems. Good Luck
