I Went to the Dermatologist.....need Help! Posted: 04-29-06 16:38pm
I started having these red rash and bumps
on my hand, neck and face 2 weeks ago.
So I went to my dermatologist, she said
they look like insect bites and very
possible mosquito bites. I ask her if
it's fleas, she said the rash looked a bit
larger than normal flea bites. So in
conclusion, she perscribed me zonalon
(doxepin hydrochloride) 5% cream. And
she insists that I should use the cream
and insect repellent spray and wait at
least 2 weeks to get well again.
But my symptom is not getting well at all,
the bites increases even though I use
repellent spray like she told me to. I
am hoping that someone with similar
symptom or knows about this can help me
out. The rash increased on my face, and
that's what annoyed me the most.....I
don't think this is mosquito
bites.....Someone help me!
My symptoms:
1). Itchiness, then a 1-2mm rash
appears, no bump yet.
2). After 1-2 days of applying the
zonalon cream, the redness subsides.
But a small pimple like bump appears and
sometimes, the bump develops into a small
clear fluid filled blister. The small
bump and occasionally the small blister
dried off in 2-4 days.
3). The bumps left no apparent scar,
just a fading brownish pigment on skin.
But every 1 or 2 days, I get new rashes.
Sometimes there would be a big blotch of
redness on my face and 2 or 3 bumps after
the redness subsides. It looks like
multiple bites.
I don't know what to do, I now have over
30 bites on my body. (most are healed,
but new ones kept coming.) no sighting of
mosquitos in my house and my roomates are
fine. Could this be flea or bed bug???
I bought a flea spray for the furniture
and sprayed my mattress and washed my bed
linen, the problem lessen, but didn't go
away. Either I didn't spray enough or
it's not fleas, I just have no clue.
Please help me out here, any suggestions
are welcome.
Thanks.

You might call a professional exterminator
in, he might be able to tell you what it
is.
Good luck!
