What causes sudden burning and itching red rash on wrists that moves up the arms and to the ear canal clavicle face and head with fever?

This red and itching rash may be due to an ingested allergen...such as food or drug. If you have never been tested for food allergies, it is recommended that you do so. Celiac (destruction of the intestines due to allergy to gluten: especially wheat gluten) disease is hard to diagnose but I have seen bright red ears associated with the disease. Since the problem also includes a fever, you may want to take these symptoms seriously and see your doctor.

If you work in a feed mill what would cause a rash to develop only on your face and neck?

Working in a feed mill will give you exposure to proteins that someone may be allergic to. These proteins are called antigens and the skin reation to them is called contact dermatitis. A dermatologist may be able to help someone determine the specific ones. Usually, avoiding exposure to the source eliminates the problem.

What does a fungal rash look like?

Most are quite red; there maybe flakey skin/craking skin or tiny blisters. Almost all itch to promote you to scratch and shed the infected skin or infect yourself at another site with the particles under your fingernails.

Many fungal infections will smell. The odour may or may not be unpleasent, sweet or bread like odours for example compared to "cheesey feet" smells.

Most fungal infections occur in places which are moist such as feet, groin and armpits. Although a few prefer drier locations. Keeping areas prone to damp dry is therefore important, talcum powder, clean socks/underwear after sports, not wearing the same pair of shoes every day of the week and good towel drying before dressing are general precautions.

There are many different types of fungi which can cause rashes and they are very infectious so very easily caught by sharing towles/changing rooms. A correct diagnosis will need either a pharmacist or doctor. Fungal infections are common and not a sign of poor hygiene/sexual promiscuity. There are many different treatments avalible over the counter at the pharmacy or in supermarkets. Over the counter treatments require good personal hygiene frequent washing and drying and application of a cream. Prescription treatments maybe in tablet form.

Does an antigen cause an allergic reaction?

Only if the person is already allergic to that antigen. Not if they are immune to the antigen. The word antigen refers to the protein that joins with the antibody. If the antibody is of the allergic type (IgE) then an allergic reaction will happen and if the antibody is of the immune type (IgG, IgM or IgA) then there won't be an allergic reaction.

I have Diarrhea and nausea with 101 fever and generalized rash?

First.. I am not a doctor. You should see a doctor if you are sick enough to be worried.

103 is usually the "high fever" point. High fevers need to be treated by medical professionals.

Your fever could be due to dehydration also. Drink alot of water and "electrolyte drinks" like pedialyte (not gatorade) in the ratio of 2 units of water to every 1 unit of electrolyte drink.

Really anytime you are worried about your health you should see a health professional.

What could cause your skin to break out in a rash and hives whenever you are in contact with a cold object or even cold water?

Its an ice allergy - there is an actually medical name for it but athletic trainers call it an ice allergy.

I know my friends who are athletic training majors have to ask all the players if they have an ice allergy before they wrap them in ice - so its not like its completely unheard of.

Will Sorbeline help to get rid of a very itchy and red area under your arms and on your testicles?

=== === Identifying the cause of the rash you describe is the key -- harder to treat something if you don't know what it is. What you describe, as the first answer mentions (a little differently) sounds like a fungal infection. These can occur in men as a result of exposure to other guys who have the problem -- and it doesn't have to be a sexual transfer -- you actually can get this shaking hands. I'm assuming the following: * This is a new thing. Your symptoms are less than a week old. * There's either a chance you spent some time in a place (like a shower in a gym) where you could pick this up, or you're taking medication that reduces your immune reaction (Prednisone is one), or both. * The rash is either expanding slowly or not expanding at all. * There are no open lesions, unless you scratched them. * There is no pus or oddly colored discharge. If I have any of this wrong, ignore me and get to a doctor. If I'm right -- go on and read more. Go to the pharmacy and talk to the pharmacist (note: Not a Pharmacy Tech - the actual, real, got-a-degree pharmacist), describe the symptom, tell her what I've said and ask their opinion. Ask if you should try an over-the-counter fungicide on this. First take a gentle bath -- DON'T scrub the lesions -- it'll just irritate them, but it's still important to be clean. Then treat as per directions. If the treatment makes things worse, STOP instantly and head for the doctor. The problems with anti-anything is that sometimes you kill the organism you want to kill, and everything gets better. But sometimes, you kill a different organism that was protecting you and acting to suppress the bad-guy organism. If the lesions you have suddenly start blooming like Spring, that may be what happened, and we've left the realm of what's treatable at home, and entered into a doctor's office. If it itches enough, an ER may be called for. === === As to Sorbeline, it seems to be a moisturizing cream. While these can indeed help with dry skin -- and what's more, I can't see how it could hurt -- this still sounds to me like a yeast infection. If it is, Sorbeline won't hurt it, but I'm not convinced it'll help either. However, please let me know either way -- now I crave an answer!

Will a rash on the face from an allergic reaction to makeup go away?

Many skincare products can cause some irritation to the skin, especially if they are acidic. Applying too much of a certain product can sometimes cause a rash.

Be sure to read the instructions that come with your skincare product and apply the product according to those instructions. The instructions should provide an appropriate amount to apply, and how often to apply it, in order to gain the desired effect.

If your skin is irritated by a skincare product, apply only a small amount at first, and then gradually increase the amount applied every day until you reach the recommended dosage listed in the instructions, or you find an amount that you find comfortable (it is not recommended that you apply more than the recommended dosage listed in the instructions).

What do meningitis look like?

The rash meningitis causes looks like someone took a paintbrush and dipped it in red paint and then using their fingers on the brush dipped in paint, flicks the paint brush and splashes small droplets on your skin. The rash can appear anywhere on your body, most commonly on your extremities - your arms and legs.

Bumps that release a clear liquid when squeezed?

Bumps that release a clear liquid when squeezed could be many different things. Examples they could be are acne, cysts, poison ivy or boils.

What could cause a smooth rash on the crease of your neck?

It could possibly be a hickey.

A more likely cause is heat rash, a common skin irritation caused by excessive heat and sweating that often looks like small, flat pimples. You may also experience redness from the friction of skin rubbing skin at the crease.

Another possibility is contact dermatitis or an allergic reaction from a necklace or piece of clothing you've recently worn.

Eczema, a form of dermatitis, is a less likely culprit, since the rash would probably be more wide-spread than what you've described.

All of the above are benign conditions; however, if your symptoms persist or worsen, you should consult a doctor for treatment.
