Sudden skin rash and splitting fingers

[Jasmine84]

What is this? I do not believe it is eczema!!!! I was 100% healthy and fine until a miscarriage that lead to a procedure called a "DNC" where I was put under. I swore when I woke up, I felt different, strange and just wrong. I knew something was off immediately like they had left something in me after surgery. Symptoms progressively got worse.

1. Slow progressive hairloss that was in a Male pattern baldness pattern (not female). NOTE: I AM FEMALE.

2. It started off as a strange rash or hive looking patch on my eyelid that became irritated and worse if given lotion. Then it would go away, and come back randomly. About a year later, it started to spread to my face, neck, under my boobs, my chest. It was dry like chapped skin, it itched and burned.

(Note: I seen several doctors as well as dermatologists who did not know what this was. They gave me anti fungal pills and cream to no avail. The only helpful thing I had tried was hydrocortisone cream.) The rash went away everywhere except a returning rash on my face that now looks like dry skin and sometimes red tiny bumps that get worse with scratching. NOTE: I CHANGED ALL MY FOOD AND HYGIENE PRODUCTS TO NO AVAIL.

2.sometimes discolored sometimes not dicolored spots on side of finger appear. They're near the knuckle height but in the side on each finger, that turn into split and dry, peeling patches. Sometimes they itch before they appear.

3. Extreme itchy ear canals with watery wax.

4. Fatigue

5. Body pain.

6. Mental confusion (brain fog)

Do any of these symptoms happen to anyone else???

Jasmine, I don’t have any answers. However, I was sparked by your statement of feeling “like they left something in me after the surgery”. I was diagnosed with scleroderma at 61 years of age. But years ago, at age 26, I had a miscarriage and a DNC. No problems. At age 30, I had a C-section and for years felt as if something had been left inside me. At age 33, with a normal delivery, I was told I had low platelet and monitored it for years until an extremely stressful environment brought out my scleroderma. I don’t know if you will find any correlation in my response but I wanted to put it out in case others do. I hope you find ways or products that ease your skin problems. I have accumulated 6 drawers of products in the past 3 years. All tried, some true🤗

Thank you, I am sorry to hear all that. I hope I find an answer soon.

Clinique has a pink eye cream (it was a sample given out) that works on my dry patchs under my eyes above my cheekbones to my hairline and over the bridge of my nose. It is truly amazing for me. My skin there is so soft now. I try to remember to use it daily.

I also like Zija GenM moringa silk hand cream. On both these products, a little bit goes a long way. I saw fantastic results. Ask your doctor about aloe Vera on the crusted areas and even drinking aloe Vera juice. I blend it with another juice for better flavor.🙂

That is really strange that you mention that because I was using Clinique pink Moisture Surge eye cream before this rash started

[Intimeslikethese in reply to Jasmine84]

This one is called Clinique "all about eyes". What a coincidence!

[Jasmine84 in reply to Intimeslikethese]

I stopped using everything I owned and went to all natural like coconut oil for hydration. Nothing has worked.

[Intimeslikethese in reply to Jasmine84]

I know, it’s crazy. I have drawers full of products. Try the Clinique “all about eyes” sample. Drink water. Cut out the sweetened drinks. I drink pretty much water and tea. Do you think working from the inside out will be the route to go? Like from the gut, food input? Honey, Aloe Vera juice, veggies, fruits? Just believe that you will soon jump this hurdle.

[Jasmine84 in reply to Intimeslikethese]

Thank you. I will try that.

Hi, have you looked at dermatomyositis? Your skin symptoms might match...

[Jasmine84 in reply to MouseO]

dermatomyositis I will research it. Thank you.

[Jasmine84 in reply to MouseO]

Wow! That is spot on! I am going to talk to my doctor. Thank you so much!

Have a look at myositis.org and understandingmyositis.org Nothing to loose by asking your doctor...And requesting blood tests - ANA (by IFA method) and a myositis panel. Plus CK levels. Or/and see a dermatologist at a teaching hospital (more experience) Good luck.

Definately not eczema. I've had that all my life, and it's not like that at all

[loserlemons__emma23]

bro, I literally have the same problem but i haven't dealt with a miscarriage (sorry about that ) my ring finger on left hand is almost rashing up but i don't believe that it's eczema, i've tried this new lotion called eucrisa but for some reason it only makes my finger feel better for like five minutes i saw my doctor about a month ago and she said she thought it just m eczema, i honestly feel like a freak with this skin thing cause im like the only one in my school who has this finger thing( 12 btw)
