When it comes to skin problems, I learned the hard way to skip the general practioner and go see a dermatologist. It is quite likely that they can give your rash a two-second glance and tell you exactly...

A: it''s just a heat rash, don''t worry it''s nothing too serious, but if it doesn''t go totally away within 2 wks go see a doctor because it might be something more. It may just be from rubbing if it''s itchy.

A: A couple of questions: Did the doctor offer an opinion or advice? Are you eating properly and drinking plenty of water? Have you gained any weight recently? Are you bathing daily?. If your skin is going through a dry period then it’ll itch most after a shower/bath (soap) and also after sweating because sweat stings dry, taut skin that usually has fine tears. At night could be because of air on you, either a/c, a ceiling fan in your room or whatever. Get yourself a non comdegenic skin moisturizing lotion and slather it on at night. Get one with sunscreen in it for the daytime. As dried up, peeling/sloughing skin gets moisturized by the lotion...

A: Your situation is serious. Seek doctor’s advice ASAP and medical treatment fast. (I’m not a doctor. I only know where to search for medical data.) Let’s start from Vitamin B12. B12 deficiency is big issue. B12 is not only for energy. Vitamins B12 B12 deficiency can cause: 1. anemia: “Symptoms of anemia are paleness, weakness, and fatigue. If severe, anemia causes shortness of breath, dizziness, and a rapid heart rate. Occasionally, the spleen and liver enlarge. Younger adults who have pernicious anemia (due to lack of intrinsic factor) are more likely to develop stomach and other gastrointestinal cancers.” 2. nerve damage “the legs are affected earlier and...

A: As long as she is getting better, there may not need to be any more testing. But if the rash is itchy and not getting better, she should really see the doctor. Sometimes they need to put a person on Prednisone therapy to counteract the rash or give them something for itching. Other than that, always remember what that medicine was so that she never takes it again. I never heard of a pharmacy making that kind of a mistake - that is really terrible. I''d bring my daughter in to the pharmacist and show him what his mistake did!!!! That''s happened to my sister a couple times. I wouldn''t worry...

A: poison Ivy ,poison oak & poison sumac poision Ivy and poison oak ''cause itches and rashes!

Stinging Nettle - and any plant you are allergic to. The sap from milk weed use to give me a rash. Most plants in gardens & backyards don''t cause rashes unless you are allergic to them (except poison oak and poison...

A: Does the redness look at all like a bug bite or the start of a rash? I had shingles last year near my eye (above, actually) that started out slightly resembling a bug bite, with some swelling and soreness. In a few days it got worse, redder, and started to resemble a rash. If there''s a chance it could be shingles, go in right away, it could permanently damage your eye if left untreated. I don''t think it is shingles, because it has been going on for two weeks already, and it would most likely be full blown and a significant rash with blisters, etc. This one is tough, at first I thought ear, nose and throat maybe? That it cold be sinus related? Do you have any pain...

A: there are several different tests, skin test involves running a series of very small needles across your back that inject a bit of alot of differnt allergans into your skin then watching to see which places get a rash, or theres a blood test called the RAST test, they just draw a tube of blood and test it for reactions, both cost about the same and are equally effective. go to your local ear, nose, and throat specalist and they''ll do some testing Most of these answers are correct to a point. As a long-time sufferer of allergies, and mother of two allergy sufferers, I...

A: 19 Feb 2012 Sonata99, Not all NSAIDS are created equally. The first generation NSAIDS include ibuprophen and naprosyn sodium (advil and aleve). There are others, but like Mobic, require a prescription. NSAID stands for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Whereas one will work for one kind of pain, another won''t. The fun ins and outs of medicatons. One will work for you, while others will not. Be brave, there may be a specific reason why your doctor wants you to try Mobic and not another second generation NSAID. Also, eat a little something when you take your med as NSAID''s are notorious for stomach upset, so better to prevent than cure. Best of Luck and Wishing You No Itchy, The...
