Scared to death. (Can you give a rash???)

Those are the sympthoms of the "flesh-eating bacteria"

 

wow

 

Hey I got exactly the same thing freshman year in high school. I went to the doctor and they said it was hives. They gave me some anabolic steroids, which "deflated" them--they still itched a little but they "died". I've never had it again. By any chance, when you had the chicken pox, did the pox bumps fade away instead of popping? My doctor theorized that's why I broke out in hives...it could just be an allergic reaction though. Certainly nothing you can share, anyway It's probably just coincidence.

 

Sounds like an alergic reaction.

The other thing that sprung to mind hives. Bother gets them if he eats to much kiwi fruit.

 

Poison ivy or some kind of plant related rash can look like that, and itch and spread like a b**ch too. Try washing with dish detergent and see if that helps; it will wash off the oil that causes the rash if it is poison ivy or oak or sumac. Soap won't do it, it takes a strong grease-cutter like Dawn.

 

It's the mark of the beast. You and your girlfriend have been indulging your carnal passions for too long.

 

Could be <a href=http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/impetigo.html>impetigo</a>. I had it as a teenager for a couple of weeks, and from what I remember, it was highly contagious, even after the symptoms went away for a while. See a dermatologist, eh.

It sounds like poison oak or ivy to me... but I doubt it in your case, because you would have to actually go outside and be away from you computer to get it so I would guess that it's something you caught off of TB or some other site you visit often. seriously though try some benadryl that might help if it's a allergic reaction of some kind..have you seen a dermatologist?. good luck!

 

Wow, I thought only babies got that.

 

I remember I had a crazy sunburn in Costa rica, it was like mad crazy, take the worst sunburn you've ever had and multiply it by 4 and you might be close. like my shoulders just melted away, and I was covered in boils and the skin was so fragile it would tear even when I put my shirt on. It was absolutely horrible.

One day while having it(it lasted for about 4 days before it started to even get close to healing....then it took weeks to fully heal, but I still have scars) I was lying in my bed, and I had to lie on my stomach with my hands under my pillow to keep them from scratching my back. It started itching worse than anything I've ever dealt with, it was so horrible, my back felt like it was coming off, and the worst part was, when I scratched, it offered NO relief! I remember taking a shower, in hopes htat the cold water would sooth my back(cold water didn't do it, neither did hot water)
and it was itching so bad, I could stand it, I wanted to cry it was the worst thing ever.

A friend of mine was feeling really sorry that I was in such pain, and to express this one day, she rested her head on my shoulder it had slipped her mind that I had it on my shoulders as well, yikes! talk about "well my heart was in the right place"


ack....oh...I don't know anything about your condition polly, except, my friend recently started breaking out in hives, methinks its allergy related, but he claims to have never had any allergies, I don't know, my Eyes have been itching like mad, and I don't want to rub them, cause that can harm your vision.

I've heard that moisturizer is great for curing rashes and irritated skin, I know it is the best sunburn cure(believe me I know) and I believe it also can help rashes.

 

Hey man I have that kind of problem too. For the past 6 or 7 months, I've noticed alot of rashes developing on my arms and my body. They're not itchy at all...they look like acne. I don't know what caused this..my mom told me its because of my tendency to wear alot of layers of clothing even when its hot.

Anybody have any suggestions? This is starting to piss me off alot.

 

Let me re-quote you:

How about trying that first, wear less clothes... ?

 

Nah man that couldn't be it cuz I've been doing that for a very long time..The rashes/acne started appearing just recently..It gradually worsened in a space of 6 months

 

Then by all means go and see a dermatologist.(sp?)

Your rashes, if caused by excessive layers of clothing, they could be coming now as a result of having that much dressed for such a long time. The body has just had enough and starts now breaking out in rashes.

But go to a dt!

 

Yeah Ill do that. Thanks for the advice. I might apply some cream or lotion of some sort first and see if that'll work.

Cheers
