Body rash

[Aoibheann]

Hi folks, I have a rash on my arms, hands, legs, back and right breast. The rash starts off small and keeps getting bigger. It is bright red and itchy. Any ideas please.

Could be a sensitivity to anything- medications, washing powder, soap ,new clothing - whatever.I have tried Eurax or antihistamine creams with some relief.

Good luck.

Hi , has the rash just started and have you recently started new medication . I once wakened up to a rash which was red dots over half my body it was down to Epilium soon as I stopped it went .

Could be ECZMA ?

I have the same thing! Doctors don’t know what it is... Two on my left leg that look like ringworm for the others look like eczema. Sometimes they are super itchy and sometimes they are inflamed feeling and sometimes they don’t bother me. I’m hoping they will disappear soon. I got a Betaderm ointment from the doctor but I think it’s making it worse!

Hello, I have an appointment next week with a dermatologist. I'm beginning to think it could be psoriasis as it has a link or something to do with arthritis. I'll keep you all posted

If it's psoriasis you'd need to avoid tomatoes...they're an inflammatory for this condition.
