Granted, I have had eczema in the past but what I have going on recently does not clear up with medications used for eczema but yet, every time I waste $ going to any doctor, I get the same diagnosis. This itching rash usually affects my face and hands, and appears out of nowhere, and woke me up 2 nights ago to severe, extreme itching. I am presently under employed/uninsured, have tried many home remedies but, nothing helps except time. I have rheumotoid arthritis, and recently was hospitalized for perforated diverticulitis but due to no insurance, they would not even consider treating me for anything besides stabilizing my present condition, and getting me out of there. I have become desperate, embarrassed, depressed, and somewhat of a recluse. I visit a clinic occasionally but, he agrees with dermatologists, and other doctors so, I receive no resolution there either. I am on the brink of giving up. I need help yesterday, and do not want to take matters into my own hands because I will try anything to alleviate the problem!

In reply to Austin. Hi Austin. It is advisable that you follow up with the dermatologist. From what you are describing there seems to be more to the problem than just dry flaky skin. Remember that dry flaky skin may just be a symptom of an underlying skin disease. There are many possible causes but considering that you seem to have more of a reaction after making contact with certain substances (soap and water) it is possible that this could be contact dermatitis, or that these substances are aggravating an underlying skin disorder. It is really difficult to say for sure. You dermatologist will be able to advise your further after reassessing your condition.

Hi.. I have tried posting but it did not go through.. Here in the last year and a half I have been experiencing really bad dry skin. Every time I take a shower, I get out and my entire face (forehead, checks, chin, nose) is really flaky and dry. I have tried different soaps that are recommended by dermatologist and I have also used medicine prescribed by my dermatologist but nothing seems to work. I have tried mositurizers but when I apply them, all I do is irritate the dry skin and make it flake up. This flakiness has resulted in my cheeks and forehead being red as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It’s like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. If I apply moisturizers or lotion then my skin becomes irritated and usually leads to pimples, but the dry skin will not go away. Sometime I experience hot flashes and my face become itchy and tingles.

Hi, I am in need of some help.. I have been to a dermatologist about my acne problems but the medicine is not working. My dermatologist prescribed me retin and clindamycin but I have seen no changes. I have also tried aloe Vera, Panoxyl and even cocoa butter to try to resolve the issue but nothing seems to work.. My problem is not so much zits, it’s dry skin. Everytime I get out of the shower, my face looks like a peeling snake. It never seems to fail. Over time, this excessive drying and peeling has caused my face to become red. Here recently when I get nervous or am under pressure, my faces tingles and itches. My scalp also itches every once in a while.. I have tried different soaps but none seem to do the job.. And the medicine that I was prescribed by my doctor only makes my dryness worse.. They say to use lotion on my face but it doesn’t help either… Im 18 years old and stuck between and rock and a hard place… It’s very aggravating, stressful and embarrass.. Any help would be appreciated. Also this has only been happening for about a year and a half

In reply to Abigail. Hi Abigail. There are many possibilities and it could even be a reaction to soap and water. If you are using any creams on your face then you may want to stop for a few days to see if it eases. The same goes for makeup. Even if it does ease, it would be advisable to speak to your doctor and possibly consult with a dermatologist. This could be a start of some skin condition and if you leave it unattended it could get worse over time.

The sides of my mouth started itching a little but that usually happens then stops, but then for the first time 2 days later at least 4 bumps showed up on the right side of my mouth only. Now I’ve never kissed anybody, and haven’t had any type of herpes or certain diseases. I know that doesn’t have to be the only reason but I don’t know what it is, and I’ve tried ointments and an antihistamine but nothing has changed. What can I take for it to go away. Please.

since one year I am struggling with sunburn, pimples, and itching on face, I started using sebamed soap and planning to use sebamed cleaning face wash. I have consultant doctors but its not helping me.
how do I identify the cause of the itching on face, any good product to remove sunburn from the face and any good whitening cream

In reply to Lynda Bausor. Hi Lynda. It is possibly a "butterfly rash" which is a characteristic symptom of SLE (lupus) but there is no way for us to confirm this with any certainty through an online platform. If your doctors suspect so then they will run the necessary tests for lupus. However, there are other causes that also need to be considered here and you should consult with a dermatologist. Acne can arise later in life around the menopausal years even if you didn't have acne earlier in life.
