Experiences with

Topical steroids

It’s a terrible response to extended use of topical steroids for eczema.

As some may know I have been fighting constant skin rash since November, antibiotics help clear it up along with steroid cream but not quite get rid of it . Then a few weeks later I'm back on the same treatment. Attended AE last night due to it spreading on my body and down my arms skin inflammation

I have this itchy neck rash that mainly flairs up or comes back on the weekends. Tried steroid cream. It does know it down, but comes back again. On multiple antihistamines one in the morning and one at night and that doesn't seem to help. I take a daily multivitamin and fiber in the morning, but

Has anyone ever had a severe rash which has been attributed to RA? I’m on day 7 of what the doctor initially thought was a drug allergy rash (due to an antibiotic antifungal mouth treatment) but it has continued to get worse. It’s flaming red, hot and itchy and is starting to peel. Currently covers 70%

I am absolutely beside myself at the moment. After being seriously unwell for 3 months, especially the last week or 2 being so unwell I wonder how cancer could feel worse... I have a positive ANA & DSDNA. I have booked privately to see a rheumatologist because I cannot wait on the NHS as my life has

Hi, I have Red,burning palms for a while now.I went to the Doctor I was given steroid cream it has,nt cleared up I was just wondering if it could be another symptom of Hypothyroidism.

I’m 6 weeks post Cardioversion of Atrial Flutter . I’m getting ectopics most of the day it started to happen the night I took my wife to dinner. Had a zero beer and 1 zero wine but I guess both full of sugar. So far had them for 3 days the doctor gave me ECG to confirm not AF. Only things doing differently

I am in my late 40s and almost 2 years ago I first developed phimosis. It basically happened suddenly. The only thing I can think of that may have caused it is that it developed soon after a day when my wife got (very unusually) sexually frisky. I did not have any noticeable injury at the time, but skin

Hello I posted a good few months ago when I was pregnant with rectal bleeding which started when I was 2 months pregnant. my baby is now 5 months old and I’m still having problems which are much worse. I’ve had bright yellow jelly mucus blood mucus and bleeding. I’ve also got an inflamed rash on my

I have primary lymphoedema in my left foot which has been well controlled through compression and daily creaming of the affected area. Despite showing no signs of any lesion I developed cellulitis which went un-diagnosed for a week or so as I was unaware of what it was. My foot and ankle were very swollen

Does anyone use Elocon steroid cream, I used it on my red lupus marks a few years ago and they cleared up. I now have a couple of red marks on face, quite small, and have started using Elocon on them as they just won’t disappear. Some days they look really faded and other days look red again. I’m going

Spurred on by Jennie’s update earlier, I thought it was high time that I wrote an update on my progress. I’m almost at 200 days post transplant. I’ve hardly had any issues so far other than my Hb count has sat quite stubbornly at or around 80 for the past couple of months. This has resulted in a good

Since jabbing myself with Pegasys interferon alfa2a for CALR +ET diagnosis, I've noticed the appearance of several small itchy patches on my abdomen and back. The ones on the abdomen are not on the site of the jab. My GP prescribed the application of a moderate steroid cream and one other non-steroid

I've been experiencing painful, itchy knots on my arms and legs that turn to blisters. Even worse when I scratch them. It's the same experience I have when I get mosquito bites, but I have not been exposed to any insects or allergens. Anyone else ever have this problem? My doctor just gave me a steroid

My husband has ARLD.His foot is swollen, red and peeling. He says it isn't painful but certainly looks it. His ankles and keep swelling. He is being treating for athletes foot but it looks much worse than that and isn't improving after bathing it and applying his steroid cream. Had anybody else come

. Jan 2021 and I was reasonably healthy for my age. ( ancient !) but suddenly developed some mega active itching in both of my legs - mainly below knee,- this turned into lumpy crusty red areas which were so sore and painful. scratching was such a no-no but unavoidable which resulted in a hot burning

Hi guys, Slightly concerned about the neck rash I have. Except it’s no longer a rash since I haven’t itched it for like a month. It’s now a dark patch… It’s been there after my first chemo treatment (BEP) almost 2 months ago. Doc prescribed steroid cream which I put on one time and caused my whole

I got a weepy itchy rash from the electode pads. I was prescribed steroid cream that only helped a tad. I ended up getting weird rashes and itching on random areas of my body and am now on a oral steroid that is working very well. Just curious if anyone has had this happen. Surgeon said to stop wearing

Hi I've had a biopsy which confirmed SLE for scalp last year in France (where I live).Having suffered health issues due to serious overmedication here before, I was reluctant to start on 400mg of Plaquenil. Got a 2nd opinion in Spain in May2021, who prescribed Diprosone (topical steroid cream) which

It all started at the beginning of July..I went to a spa and had a chemical reaction. I was wrongly told to use a steroid cream and thrush pessary and cream and not long after using these I developed pain inside my vagina and a feeling of a full bladder. The pain inside would flare up and down and felt
