Re: Skin rash or something? eeeeek

I'd go to the doctor too.  The red burning rash I had was something the dog had gotten on his coat running through bushes.  He gave me a little tube of steroid cream because I love to hug my boy!

 

Over the counter would have never done it.

Re: Skin rash or something? eeeeek

I just ran across your post. I began a thread, "If You Are Experiencing Skin Rash," earlier this month (8/16) regarding a preservative/anti-microbial, Methylisothiazolinone, which is found in many household and laundry products, as well as cosmetics, hair and skin products and even paint.

 

I hope your problem has resolved, but if not, I've posted some information and links there that I hope will be helpful.  Good luck.

Re: Skin rash or something? eeeeek

A couple of other things to consider regarding rashes and why seeing a doctor is

important:

 

A rash on my leg is one of the things that tells me that my Auto Immune Disorder is acting up (Pulmonary Sarcoidosis)....

 

Moved across the country and noticed a red blotch on my cheek  Did a few things with no result and went to the doctor.  Had a skin infection and required anti-biotics.  Would not have gone away without anti-biotics.

 

Seeing a doctor is really the best thing when something isn't going away.... Woman Happy
