RE: Spreading Rash With Blisters Post By suzy (Guest Post) (04/08/2008) It sounds like it could be herpes. Do NOT put heat on the rash -- put cool compresses on it.

I had layers of skin just coming off my hands and arms by itself no itching. Finally I found a doctor that knew what it was. I saw many who told me to stop picking at my skin. It was diagnosed as an auto immune disease tatly seen in my area. After years of costly medical treatment I finally found out that if I had gone to the doctor I last saw when it first began I could have saved lots of money, pain and life long scarring so don't wait. Find A GOOD knowledgeable dermatologist and stay out of the sun til you know. Don't use hot anything because this may be damaging your skin. I don't want to scare you but it really needs to be looked at by a good doctor of P.A.

Biopsy showed I have folliculitis (infected hair folliculs from wearing clothes too tight around my waist). My dermatologist wants to treat rash with Hydroxyzine HCL TABS and triamcinolone Aceton 0.1% cream My allergist wants me on zyrect 10 MG and Triamcinolone Acetonide cream 0.1% Benadryl liquid has helped relieve itiching and drowsiness is nothing to worry about if taken at bedtime.

It sounds like prickly heat, or contact dermatitis....but I am not a doctor. Speaking of doctors, this sounds like something that really needs to be looked at, especially if it's spreading.

And if you use something, be careful not to recontaminate the item by double dipping in case it's contagious.

My daughter gets it on the back of her neck under her long hair, use Johnson & Johnson first aid cream, it eventually clears up.

Apply hot water (compress) or put itchy extremity(arm, foot, etc) in hot water for a minute or two. It has to be as hot as you can stand it, but not so hot that it burns your skin. This actually diminishes the number of pain recepters at the itchy site for about two hours. When itching returns, repeat treatment. I like the remedy because it is free and safe. However it sounds like you should see a doctor to discover the root of your problem. Good luck.

Some church parishes also have parish nurses who see members of the church. You have my sympathy!

I think you need to go to the doctor and get a professional opinion. What you've spent in over the counter home remedies probably would have paid for an office visit.

(Guest Post) (08/10/2005) Go to http://www.mayoclinic.com and look up "shingles" under the "diseases and conditions" heading. (This is the first thing that came to my mind when I read your post.) There is a description and even a picture you can enlarge. You can compare your symptoms with the information given. I DO think you should see a doctor. Good Luck........and don't wait around.....you may be able to keep this from getting a lot worse!!!!

Good luck to you, dear. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Spreading Rash With Blisters Post by Luvyabye (387) | (08/10/2005) Profile | Contact Insurance or no insurance, I think you should see a doctor. Perhaps there are clinics in your town or close by that can help you. It's not a good idea to mess with your health. Otherwise, a doctor's office will probably allow you to make small payments each month. God bless you!!! Report Spam or Abuse
