I had Gout on an ankle in the summer of 2008, and was given Naproxen, and antibiotics. The Gout cleared up, I think, but both ankles and lower legs, have itchy rashes, and skin discoloration. It seems to be spreading up the legs. I have seen my Doctor, but have to wait three months for a specialist appointment. Has anyone else, encountered these circumstances?
View 1 Repliesits a rash that's just really annoying. and sometimes it gets so much and when i scratch one area, all other areas begin to itch... and it gets really painful.. im definitely sure its not std bcos i've never had sex.
View 1 RepliesI have washed my hands just to see if it was dirt or something when I did yard work last night. The top of my finger is orange/bronze looking and I've researched it and it could be gangrene but I seriously doubt it, but never know. I came here to ask others what it could be.
I realized it about 2 1/2 hours ago at school during breakfast. I thought it was strange cause I have not ever seen it before. It doesn't hurt that I know of yet. Its just like below my nail not like underneath it but below it.
That's all I can really say about it right now. If anything comes up or affects any other places on me will let ya know
About a year ago I noticed raised areas, like blisters under skin on the Palms of my hands(red), some pin head size others small nail head size some of the larger ones form a blister well under the skin...painful to touch. The others ones are just itchy, drive you nuts itchy. A doctor checked on Vasculitis and they think it is that...I seem to think there is a bacterial inflammation in my blood. Has anyone heard of this? I take Zyrtec 1 daily and if I miss two days the bumps come on me with a vengeance. A biopsy was done at the site of a bump and prevalent of Neutrophils. I had a corticosteroid shot for another ailment and it worked miracles on my vasculitis. Does anyone know of other diseases that I should check into. and will a full body pet scan reveal the source of this stuff.

View 3 RepliesI have been diagnosed with diabetes (type 2) 2 years ago. Even before, my skin on legs felt so itchy, that I sometimes woke up at night. I even sometimes took a hairbrush and scratch it on legs. I actually wounded myself!!! These wounds do not heal easily and leave scars behind.
What should I use to prevent this itching?

View 5 RepliesFor the last four days my 4 year-old daughter has been experiencing fever. Her lymph nodes on the neck are swollen, and I thought it was a cold or something, so I made her warm and waited to see if it will go away. But it didn’t. Now, on the fifth day, her palms started to swell as well, and she has been scratching them the whole morning. Now, I got really scared. I am trying to reach a doctor but nobody is answering.
View 2 RepliesI've been dealing with this rash on my butt for a few years now. It only shows up in a sort of red "ring" where the cheeks touch. It's a little itchy (my anus is not itchy or red) but mostly just painful. Sometimes it will go away for about a week but it's generally there in some level of severity.
At the advise of a doctor (I went in about a year ago), I tried using clotrimazole 1% for two weeks at a time. It doesn't seem to do a whole lot of good.
Any ideas? I'm really tired of the near constant rash.
Do anybody suffering with itchy skin, i have had it for weeks but just on my stomach and back, i take lots of medication but the same for a while, taking gabapentin, tramadol and co-codamol for the pain, but stopped the tramadol has read this can cause itching, but not got any better, is it linked with fibro do anybody know.
View 2 Repliessometimes my palms and the soles of my feet get really hot(a burning sensation and really warm to the touch) red and itchy. I feels really good to put them under water but somehow i feel like this isn't good for it. so I just apply some unscented lotion.
It's been happening for years. and I'm still trying to figure out what triggers it. it happens randomly mostly. but I have noticed that it happens a lot in the morning. like right after I grab something. or something scratches or hits them. really just any pressure being applied. its lasts for about a minute or 2 then goes away.
i m 34 years after pregnancy i have started getting itching with red spots on my palms and feet. its more in the mornings and nights or if im in touch with objects which need little pressure to be added.plz help me know wat does this mean?
View 1 RepliesI had Guttate Psoriasis thirteen years ago (just the one time, it went away not to return). Fast forward to two years ago I started getting bad pains in various joints, was told I had Burst is, then an impinged nerve and then gout and so on. At the end of January I woke with a severely swollen painful wrist. A visit to our new gp resulted in referral to the hospital and at last a diagnosis. What I want to know is, is it normal for my skin to be itchy all the time ? I don't have Skin Psoriasis. I'm not sleeping well and it's driving me mad, just bought some E45 itch relief cream which I'll put on before bed.
View 1 RepliesI'm sexually active. Circumcised. Always wear condoms, but occasionally one breaks. Last breakage was about 6 weeks ago. About 8-9 days ago the left side of my foreskin just below the glans itched like crazy. Within a few hours it swelled up and started overlapping the glans (as if I'm uncircumcised). The next day (probably 12-16 hours later), a couple oblong pus-filled blisters about 1/2 CM appeared on the foreskin. Part of the glans turned bright red in the area the foreskin swelled over. I assumed it was HSV 2 as I have HSV1 and the itchy sensation and related pain was similar. I'm already on 1,000 MG Valtrex so I didn't see a need to go to the doctor. The blisters survived a few days and merged into a large oblong pus sack about 1.5 CM. Shortly after it burst, the swollen foreskin turned bright red and began to shed. And there's quite a bit of yellow slime between the foreskin and glans. I wipe it clean 7-10x per day or it gets all over my inner thigh. I can't find any HSV2 pictures that look quite like this or match the blisters. My blisters seemed much larger than the HSV 2 pics. I've seen a few syphilis pics that look somewhat similar, but the description of symptoms doesn't seem to fit well. Plenty of balanitis pics match, but the sources say it's quite rare in circumcised men. Any ideas? I can't get to a doctor for at least a week (work assignment out of town).
View 1 RepliesI 'm a 16 year old girl and for the past 2 months or so i've been getting these strange bumps on the backs of my legs. at first they started out as no big deal on the back of my right thigh. i can't remember how itchy or painful they were at first, but i occasionally put cooling cortisone gel on them. they started to get a little worse and since it's summer, they would become more visible since i was wearing shorts, so i started to make sure i scrubbed the back of my thigh with body wash and i used an acne scrub on it. i only did this on my right leg, since my left leg seemed to be fine. soon, it spread to my left leg, but still not as bad as the right. and now it occasionally pops up on the front of my thighs. i don't think it's contagious really, because it hasn't spread to anywhere on my body besides my thighs. the bumps are really strange too. they start out itchy, but they don't constantly itch (once they start, they itch like crazy though. like if you itch a bug bite once, you can't stop itching it) then they turn sort of pimple like. they feel like a pimple that you know is going to be big, like there's a lot of pus under the surface of the bump. they get a tiny white head at one point, but never actually pop except a teeny tiny amount of liquid. some bumps are much bigger than others and some leave a scar for a while before finally going away. i haven't found anything that stops them from popping up, but sometimes they'll go away completely for a couple of days, then they always end up coming back. tonight i think it's the worst they've ever been. my legs look disgusting and i'm embarrassed to wear shorts in public. i plan on going to the doctor soon, but every time i've made an appointment before, they're cleared up right before i go. has anyone else had this problem? i cannot find anything that can help it and i've tried a lot. i really don't think it could be bed bugs or flea bites or anything, because it doesn't show up anywhere besides my thighs.

View 1 RepliesMy penis started hurting at the bottom of the head, then it started itching like mad after a day. I itched it real hard. The next day my inner thighs started itching and it has spread to a couple itch bumps on my stomach, many on my waist area / lower abdomen. I tried to refrain from itching intensely.I've done a buttload of research, eczema is all I've found to fit so far. It doesn't seem to be mites/bed bugs/scabies/chiggers. Jock itch doesn't fit. Neither does yeast infection, or any other fungal/bacterial infection.My penis has become less itchy but more try. The skin on the head is flaking. I've been using ice cubes to temporarily relieve the itch but it's not too much help. My sleep is becoming very disturbed.
View 5 Repliesi am a 19 year old asian male. I have developed LOTS of different kinds of skin problems. But about 3 months ago, i started getting itchy legs, I started scratching and developed patches on my legs that have small red dots. i also developed some sort of raised rash on my face (under my eyes, cheeks, and eyebrows). I have similar raised rashes as the one on my face on the back of my neck, and the crease of my leg (behind my knee). I also recently started to develop red dots all over my lower stomach, upper legs and thighs. they almost seem like an allergic reaction, but I haven't really done anything different than i normally would. I occasionally get a rash on my armpit. I will not wear deodorant when i have this, and it will eventually go away, but as soon as it goes away the other armpit tends to develop the same thing. I also have small bumps all over my elbows and part of my arms. THey feel extremely rough. If you were to rub it, you would think you were touching some sort of lizard. Also, my butt cheeks have been getting itchy and it leads all the way to my scrotum. The itch on my scrotum isn't unbearable
WIth all these different kinds of rashes last week, all the affected areas on my buddy (even though, they are different kinds of rashes) started to puss a yellow honey like liquid. I kept wiping it off, but when i woke up the next morning, they had turned into something similar to a scab. some of them peeled off, and i had a shiny smooth skin under it.
I don't' know what's going on. All i know is that im tired of itching, and not being able to sleep at night. THIs has been effecting my daily life very badly. I would like to see a dermatologist, but I do not have health insurance. If there is anyone that has any of the same kind of problems, or have any form of help, it would be appreciated sooooo much.
