Oral and topical diphenhydramine (Benadryl); topical hydrocortisone (Cortaid); calamine lotion; colloidal oatmeal baths (Aveeno).\n\nSee a doctor if it persists. Call 911 if you have wheezing

Poor thing. Hopefully the chemist is open by now. For the skin I used Aloe Vera Bio Active Gel on my kids, as well as calamine. Cool baths helped. Piriton for the itch. Not sure about the mouth, but you could try ice pops. And lots of calpol/nurofen of course. Hope he's over the worst soon. Hang on in there.

It sounds like hives, an allergic reaction to something, also known as contact dermatitis.  These hives can last up to 6 weeks!  I know I got them on my legs from god knows what.  If they get worse or if they are just bugging you you should see a doc and they can give you oral and/or topical medication to clear it up.

Take Vitamin C with bioflavonoids, help to prevent infection and the rapid spreading of the rash cause by poison ivy and reduces swelling. \n\nTake Calcium and Beta-carotene, they help to boost the immune response and to speed healing of poison ivy. \n\nTake Zinc, helps to repair skin tissue damaged by poison ivy. \n\nUse Calamine lotion, is good to speed healing of poison ivy. \nAnother way to reduce itching is mixing 1 tsp. of water with 3 tsp. of one of these dry ingredients; cornstarch, baking soda, oatmeal or Epson salts. Make a paste and apply over the affected skin. \n\nFor cooling relief, apply over the itching area aloe vera juice, tofu or watermelon rind, they soothe and dry poison ivy immediately. \n\nCalendula lotion es very good in reducing itching, limiting the spread of the rash and helping the body to heal faster.

Boy, do I ever have a lot of experience with this!!!  There is a cream at the drug store called Zanfel.  (CVS has a generic brand of it too)  It is expensive, about 30 bucks, but it will take the itch 100% away!  It is a gritty creme that you rub into the poison oak rash until all the itch is gone.  It works by extracting the Urishol (which is the oil that makes you itch) from your skin.  At times I have had to do a second treatment, but there is a good amount in the tube you buy.  I STRONGLY suggest you get this stuff, it will make life a lot easier!\n\nOther than that, you just wash well, don't scratch, and if it oozes, just wash often, don't put any bandaids or stuff like that on it cause it will make it spread.  Anywhere the urishol touches can develop a rash.  Calamine lotion helps dry it, and I have had people tell me that oatmeal baths help although I have never recieved any relief from it.  \n\nGood luck.\nMel

It depends on how you respond to the disease. But you can prevent the occurence of ugly scars by the following:\n\nTrim nails and do not scratch. \nBathe daily. \nLet scabs fall off by themselves. \n\nHome remedies:\n\nApply Sandalwood oil ( not the paste ) from the first day of appearance of rash till the fall of scabs. helps \n\nApply Vitamin E oil over the skin. Will help the healing process..\n\nA bath of oatmeal is a natural remedy to relieve the itch due to chicken pox\n\nHoney smeared over the skin will also help in healing the disease\n\nLukewarm water baths with neem leaves will help relieve the itching.

Probably just a rash, especially in the heat.  I get it worse in the summer too and if it was 2 weeks ago, the stubble must me driving you nuts!  I shave it every other day to avoid the itch and use a really good cream to help with razor burn and ingrown hairs.  And its most likely not chlamydia like that first person said.  I was tested for it before and the syptoms were nothing like that.

Sorry can't help you with that, I've never worn one, but I suggest using a new, sterile one, and getting that rash checked out.  Perhaps buy a smaller, or bigger, one so it doesn't rub or irritate the skin.  But what do I know, I'm a girl!

Try a diaper rash cream. Thats what I use when I get irritated and it works. Desitin or it's generic is best.

Sounds like an alergic reaction or heat rash. or some type of fungle infection. Acne or sweat pimples are other possibilities. Check with your doctor.

If you shaved recently it is probably razor irritation, try a little cortisone cream for a few days. If that doesn't help you may need to see a doctor.

Rash is a very common side effect of this drug. Treatment will depend on how bad the rash is. You should call you oncologist and let thm know about the rash. I usually have my patients come in so I can see what the rash looks like. Sometimes I give topical steroid creams if it is mild. Otherwise, I consider an oral steroid taper if it looks pretty bad. Sometimes we need to reduce the dose of the Tarceva or put it on hold until the rash improves. Clindamycin cream can also be effective.

Are you sure it's not just razor bumps?  You could try an electric razor and see if that works.

Soak a washcloth in malva tea and apply it as a warm compress to the infected area to reduce inflammation.\n\nAloe vera gel (make sure you're not allergic), ginkgo biloba extract, olive leaf extract, and green tea extract have antioxidant properties that can aid in healing.\n\nCalendula, chamomile, elder flower and tea tree oil can be used externally as soothing wash on rashes.

Sounds like dry skin from the winter cold and wind.\nI like St. Eves formula skin lotions. They are the only ones that work for me and are not greesy.\nGold Bond Ultra Lotion has been advertised alot lately and it be it works as this type has been around a long long time. Hope to try it out.\nMake sure you exfoliate your legs in the shower or bath. This gets the dead skin cells off so you dont itch so much. Just make sure you put the lotion on right after you get out.
