Oatmeal and baking soda bathes are supposed to be very good for skin rashes and itches.\n\nBut you'll want to take other action too. For instance, start using an allergen-free laundry detergent. From what you say, you may be allergic to the one you have. Also, check your bath soap and make sure you're not allergic to that.\n\nGood luck!

Itchy down there, too moist, with white residue.  Hot feeling (not in a nice way).  I hear plain yogurt is a good home remedy.  I haven't had one in forever, but last time I used monistat 3 (I don't trust the 1 day, and 7 days is too long).  Good luck with that ;-)

Renew skin lotion By Melaleuca. Plus he may have a nutritional deficiency causing the flare ups. Maybe a good Kids vitamin.

prednol cortisone cream is what i'd use if i started getting itchy..but being cortisone, there is only so much you can use of it so often.  you should seek an allergy specialist that you can afford, do some research online on health sites and archives-most importantly, join an allergy yahoogroup to reach a wider audience of people suffering from allergies who'd be experienced enough to guide you in different ways.  make sure you drink lots of water, do some relaxation techniques if possible-find out about EFT-and know that you're not alone.  I've been on zyrtec for almost four years and I'm having trouble getting off it too-although mine come in the form of headaches and constant sleep need along with hives.  GOOD LUCK!!!  ps It's also DEFINETLY worthwhile for you to keep a food and activity diary to try and pinpoint any new allergens that may have come up in your life.

I suffer from the problem also.  I went to a dermatologist and he prescribed elidel first which worked well for 3 months until my system became immune to it I've also tried pandel my system also became immune to it. the best thing I've found yet is St. Ives Apricot Scrub and a light moisturizer like cocoa butter

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.

Hmmm...\n\nI still think they are hives.  A minor case may only stay around for a day or two.  Hard to tell, but if they really start bothering you, go to a free clinic, to be safe.\nYour health is more important than money.\n\n Another possibility is ringworm ( a fungus), but I think it stays for a while without medicine.\n\nHere is another idea.  Go to your nearest pharmacy the next time you break out.  Then ask the pharmacist what he thinks you can put on it.  He/she might recognize the rash and be able to help you...\n\nGood luck!  Let me know ok?

Why do you apply vagisil?  Vagisil is supposed to prevent itching, isn't it?\n\nhttp://www.freewebs.com/spiritualhealing

Considering the location on your body where the rash is occurring, my guess would be most like heat rash. And yep, the humidity won't help, either. If you can get your hands on a clay-based talcum powder (Burts Bees make one, don't know if you can get it there, though), wash the affected areas thoroughly, dry completely, then apply the talcum to those areas. In a pinch, cornstarch will help somewhat, but the clay talcum works the best of everything I have tried. Also try wearing underwear that allows the skin to breath, like all-cotton, just so long as it does not contain manmade fibers. And you want it to fit in such a way that it prevents rubbing and further irritation of the skin. Hope this helps, I know how miserable rashes can be.

Eczema is a general term for rashes on the skin that doctors can not explain.  One persons case can be completly different from the rest.  People try to treat it externally but its an internal problem caused by a chemical or hormonal imbalance in your body which is usually caused by what you are putting in your body.  Once again I will say figure out what foods he is intolerant too most people are intollerant to something and everyone is intollerant to fast food, artifical colors, flavors and preservitives.  They are chemicals dont eat them.  \n\nThe best otc treatment for the rash calendula oil, collodial oatmeal, zinc oxide.  Do not touch the affected area with anything! Harsh soaps, hard water, plants, dogs ect...  YOu can treat the out side and have it a little better or you can treat the inside and make it go away forever.  Acupuncture works great too.

All my 4 kids have had it and anti itching creams and lotions did not work for any of them. What seemed to work best, was to take off as much of their clothes as possible: the warmer/sweatier they were, the more pox they got. What worked wonders for my youngest daughter was this syrup she took on doctor's prescription and ever so slightly numbed the nerve ends and therefor made her less itchy (I'm really sorry, I can't remember the name...). It made her a bit sleepy too, which was actually not too bad: the more they sleep, the quicker the body gets better!\nBy the way, my doctor did not want me to rub anything on the chickenpox, lotion or cream: according to her it made the chance of (mild) infections bigger, with the result not only that the skin is more irritated and itchier, but also  a much bigger chance of scars......

ah sounds like a contact dermatits rash. stop using that lotion you may be allergic to it and how well do they clean that tanning bed hummmm you may have some funky stuff growing on you. to be on the safe side go and let a doctor look at it. If it itches as you said the best thing to put on it is hydrocortisone cream you can buy that over the counter you can get that anywhere.

I have atopic dermatitis,the medical name for eczema and I have had it for 40 + years.Here is some advice:\n\n1.Flare ups can take time to heal.Medications keep the flare ups from getting too out of hand.My worst flare up was on my hands.I had the rash on my hands for four years;I was unsder doctor's care the whole time.\n\n2.There is no cure for eczema,only treatments. Forget all-natural "cures" because they DO NOT WORK!!(Remember,I've had this condition for over 40 years;I know from experience that \n"natural" and "hypoallergenic" doesn't mean that they are good choices for atopic skin).Having sensitive skin means that certain products,natural or not,can cause allergic reactions in the skin .\n\n3.Get rid of all soaps,all scented products.Soaps are drying,period.Drying ingredients exacerbate the itch,which leads to scratching,whick breaks the skin,which causes the oozing,redness... The most important thing that you can do is keep the skin from getting too dry.Cleaning with Cetaphil Lotion Cleanser,or Cetaphil Bar cleanser,keeps the skin from losing too much moisture.After cleaning up,a moisturizing cream is to be applied.Cetaphil makes an excellent cream mosturizer.Some people like Eucerin cream.Water is an irritant to atopic skin,so try not to wash hands a lot;Cetaphil can be used without water,you just put it on,"lather up" and repeat,then wipe off the cleaner.\n\n4. Cortaid with moisturizers works just as well as any prescription medication.I've used prescription hydrocortisone cream,Lidex and Prednisone(not recommended,because it lasts for as long as you take it,then you are left with the rash and the side effects of the steroid).I also tried Protopic and luckily hated it;it burned so I didn't use it.I say luckily because Protopic and Elidel,the newest drugs are under investigation for  causing an increased risk of skin cancer.Just remember that some flare ups last for a long time(my worst lasted for four years).Being patient is one of the hardest things to do but it is something that a person with atopic dermatitis must have.\n\n5. Aveeno makes some great products for itchy,sensitive skin.Aveeno Bath Powder with Colloidal Oatmeal and Aveeno  Bath and Shower Oil with Colloidal Oatmeal are fantastic.\n\n6.The weepy form of eczema can be soothed with wet dressings made with Bluborro powder.The Bluborro will dry the ooze so you can deal with the rash.\n\n7.Stay away from Vaseline,any product that contains lanolin,benzocaine,aha or sugar acids,retinols,any greasy preparation,or any cream that contains an antihistamine(oral antihistamines are okay,just not in a cream or lotion that goes directly on the skin).\n\n8.Having excema even has an effect on the clothes that can be worn.Dermatologists prefer that their patients wear cottons and soft,natural fibers.Polyester retains perspiration which can cause problems.The soft moisture-wicking fabrics are okay.Wool is to be lined or a person will have to wear a soft layer underneath the wool(t-shirts,camisoles,pantliners)so it doesn't touch the skin and make the skin itch.Fabric detergents and fabric softeners used to clean clothes have to be unscented.\n\n9.Educate yourself.I started reading up on skin conditions as a teenager.Dermatologists often write books with advice on how to deal with certain conditions.I'll list them in the sources.\n\n10 Eczema,allergies and asthma often go hand-in-hand.An antihistamine is to be taken to deal with this.\n\n11. My doctor said to avoid doing any wet work if at all possible(no doing dishes,no washing the car,et c.).If wet work couldnot be avoided,cotton gloves worn under rubber gloves had to be worn;the cotton gloves are available in the beauty sections of pharmacies.Lined rubber gloves are not good enough.

There are hundreds of different kinds of rashes, and even more causes. We need a lot more information to give any intelligent answers. Does the rash itch? Is it red? Does it change shapes, one part resolving why new ones develop? If so, then you likely have hives, which are usually due to allergy. Hives are caused by the release of histamine by your immune system (mast cells and basophils), and histamine not only causes hives, but can cause gastrointestinal problems (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, intestinal cramping, etc) and headache ("cluster" headache). \n\nYou can look at pictures of all kinds of dermatological problems at this website:  http://dermis.multimedica.de/dermisroot/en/list/all/search.htm Maybe you'll find something which looks like your rash.

Benadryl comes in cream for for topical (on the skin over the rash) or oral (to be ingested).  The oral form can be taken every 6 hours to help clear rashes.\n\nI would see the doctor if it doesn't clear within a day or so.  You might have an allergy.  \n\nAlso, if you have recently changed or added a new medication, speak to your doctor before starting Benadryl (or any other antihistamine).

Sounds possibly like urticaria (hives), which could be an allergic reaction, or due to a number of other things, including an infection. I know a LOT of people who have chronic hives, and many of them first thought they had flea, chigger or mosquito bites. It's a very common misdiagnosis for hives. And hives do tend to follow a pattern of appearing to follow each other, and often appear along areas where clothing may be tight (such as bra lines) or the skin may be chafed or otherwise irritated.\n\nTry bathing with Aveeno, it;s an oatmeal powder that is made to mix with bathwater, you can find it at any drugstore. Mix one packet with warm water (not hot - heat will likely make the itching worse) and soak for as long as you comfortably can (15-30 minutes). OTC antihistamines such as Benadryl may help, but it's better to consult a doctor than trying to dose yourself with medications.\n\nIf you continue to have this rash for a while (weeks), you really should consult with a doctor, since there are some systemic conditions, including cancers, which can cause a persistent rash. Not to scare you, but they should be ruled out.
