Help! Red, Itching, Burning Rash On Body+swellinh Posted: 06-27-07 04:55am
Hello,
For the past two days I've had very red,
burning, itching rash on my hands, legs,
thighs and feet which flares and burns for
a while and then calms down only to leave
my fingers throbbing and tingling and
swollen.
Any advice or diagnoses?

I can't really give you a diagnosis
because I am not a doctor but I remembered
that once my sister got something quite
similar to what you have actually and she
used a medication called Diprosone
This is normally used for the relief of
itching and acts as an
anti-inflammatory.It can also be used for
these treatments:
# An eruption of hard nodules in the skin
accompanied by intense itching (prurigo
nodularis)
# Area of thickened itchy skin caused by
rubbing and scratching (lichen simplex)
# Eczema
# Inflammation of the skin
# Inflammatory skin disease known as
discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE)
# Psoriasis
# Severe, widespread reddening of the skin
(erythroderma)
# Skin disorder causing a flat, itchy,
violet rash, usually on the wrists, shins,
lower back and genitals (lichen planus)
Well, you must however not forget to asked
your doctor first if you can take it.
