Red skin patches, not scaly

3 Replies

Hi all, any ideas appreciated, 3 weeks ago I got a red patch on right upper arm, not itchy or scaly, just felt a bit like a burn. Doc gave me penecillin, it faded but stayed. Still have it now, now I have another patch on the left of my back... Not changed any products etc?

Mmmm.....might be a change in formulation to a current product as I have been caught out by that before both with Persil Non-Bio and more recently with Fairy Non-Bio laundry products?

Hi Lovesradio!, For washing your clothes use a washing conditioner called ecover it has to be the zero one which cannot be bought in supermarkets. I would order online. . I have Rosacea and have controlled this with many things including these natural capsules I take...I don't know how to share pictures on here as you can see the difference. These are also great for Psoriasis and eczema and acne.
