Can shingles appear with out any rash?
Yes. Generally the rash confides to one area of the body, sometimes the chest, normally the upper back or neck.
Some people get the pain but never develop the rash. These cases are much more difficult to diagnose and can be mistaken for other diseases. Your doctor would need to do a blood test to confirm the diagnosis.
Can rubbing alcohol give you a rash after donating blood?
You are most likely allergic to the betadine that that they use to sterilize the area before giving blood. Try using some anti-itch cream on the area for a couple of days.
If this is not the case, it may be an allergic reaction to the co-ban that they put on your arm after you donate, next time try asking for a band-aid instead and see if this helps any.
What does eczema look like under the skin?
it differs. somedays it feels like its not even there and you have clear skin. but when it flares up you have to itch it, you feel the need to itch it. if you leave it long enough you feel like if you don't itch it, it will drive you mad. then you've itched it, you feel it come up some where else and you itch that and so on and so on. when you have stopped itching you may feel it start up again so you will itch it again. this keeps occurring until you are satisfied. you could be bleeding and you still aren't satisfied. But it's different for everyone, this is just how it happens to me.
Can you use Prednisone for skin rash?
I am allergic to Prednisone. I have been since I was a little girl (I'm 45 now). Though my doctors know that I am allergic, sometimes Prednisone is what they mandate (for reasons), despite the consequences. So now I'm on a 10-day course of 10mg Prednisone for treatment of bronchial infection that will not go away; I also have Asthma and take Singular daily, along with inhaler only when I need it. 7 days into the treatment, I began breaking out into a severe rash all over my body. Knowing that it was going to happen did not make it any easier.
Treatments my family has used successfully: (will help with prednisone rash symptoms)
* luke warm bath filled with baking soda. Soak for as long as you like.
* luke warm bath; fill a sock with oatmeal (a lot of it), tie up the sock and put it in the bath as you fill up the tub. Soak for an hour (that's what I've been doing lately).
* After the bath, I've used oatmeal lotions

What does ACE inhibitor blocks?
ACE inhibitors block ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme), an enzyme that converts angiotensin1 to angiotensin2. Angiotensin2 is a potent vasoconstrictor. Thus ACEI reduces the production of angiotensin2, thereby reducing blood pressure.

>>CAN THIS BE USED FOR POSION IVY?
Yes you can use it on poison ivy, but I would not reccommend it because it is a very strong antibiotic; you should not use antibiotics unless you have an infection... why use a prescription if you don't need to Cortaid works just as well for poison ivy (not MRSA) and is over the counter.
Can children get a scarlet fever rash without having strep throat?
Yes, ... my son recently approached me one night with a red, rough rash that resembled tiny little bumps all over his chest and his back. The rash hadn't yet spread to the lower abomen and back, but we went to the ER to get checked out. He did not have a fever, his throat was red - according to the Dr., and he maybe had a slight cough, but nothing really persistent. Definietly nothing that would have me concerned that he might have strep throat...His throat culture for strep came back negative, but the Dr. placed him on antibotics for ten days...the rash cleared up in around two days, and it never spread further....so I am still questioning whether or not this was due to strep throat, but it makes sense. They called it a "Scarletina" rash. - from strep. They also said even though a culture comes back negative, you can't always trust the results. My son is fine now, and no more rash!

Most people who are allergic to sulfa based medicationss are also allergic to Lamictal. The reactions vary from blisters in the mouth to busted eyeball capillaries, to a very serious SJS or TENS reaction.
Pain in the ankles and the joints feeling like glass is inside of them are also symptoms, and the sufferer is often prescribed other medications for conditions which simply do not exist.
If you take Lamictal, be on the lookout as the side effects are as violent as the bi-polar condition itself.
Most people start to show signs of side effects within 10 days of the dosage.

Diaper rashes are often caused by the chemicals used as fragrances for wipes and diapers. The best thing to do when finding an inflamed area with a pattern connected to the diaper contact area, is to try and determine the cause. It could be an allergic reaction to the specific brand, if so you should think about what brands you are using and what might be causing the irritation, as well as using cloth diapers. There may also be an infecition, in which case you might have to think about refering to a doctor for more details on topical antibotics.

Can your breastfed baby have an allergic reaction from something you ate?
YES!!!!
Although it's extremely rare! In case a baby shows an allergic reaction to breast mik, it is more likely that it reacts to foods which the mother eats, as they pass through the breast milk into the baby's digestive system. On many sites (especially on forums) you read that "babies are never allergic to breast milk". This is NOT true! It is very rare though. There is a genetic disease called methylmalonic acidaemia (MMA). This condition means that the baby is unable to breakdown protein and thus the protein in the milk is poisoning the whole body. This is a very serious situation and can eventually result in the babies death, if the breastfeeding continues (see http://www.itv.com/Lifestyle/ThisMorning/Health/AllergictoBreastMilk123/default.html). More info here: http://children-allergy.com/is-your-baby-allergic-to-your-breastmilk
In very rare cases a mother's immune system can create antibodies (transmitted through the breast milk) that can be harmful to her baby. In that rare case, the baby cannot continue breastfeeding and the mother will be offered a shot by her medical doctor to prevent this kind of immune response in future childbearing. Again that's very rare, and the number one symptom of that is SEVERE jaundice. If you suspect that your child is suffering from food-allergy you should consult with your pediatrician. Unfortunately many pediatricians are reluctant to conclude that a child is allergic to food. Your may have to fight your corner. Also many are hesitant to tell a mother to drop things from her diet, because they're concerned about her nutrition. Stand your ground and if your pediatrician refuses to listen to your concerns, you can ask to be referred to an allergist.

Can the use of liquid nitrogen on your skin cause an allergic rash?
No. Nitrogen does not irritate skin. But liquid nitrogen is extremely cold, and it can damage and kill skin (and other) tissue. It is a bad idea to allow your skin to come into contact with liquid nitrogen. Note: Some warts are "frozen" in an effort to remove them. In a clinical setting, liquid nitrogen is sometimes used to super-cool an instrument so the wart can be frozen. But this is a medical procedure and is done by professionals. Liquid nitrogen is not something that should be looked upon as a "toy" or "recreational plaything" by anyone.
actually there is a cure
i have also been suffering with the same problem for 4 years. (im 18) When i am in a situation that i am uncomfortable with or when i get angry or nervous, i break out in the hivey red rash on my chest and neck. it is horrible!! however, my doctor let me try a beta blocked known as propronolol. I take 20 mg once a day and it is cured. it has literally changed my life. PLEASE talk to your doctor about trying it. I have no more blotches!!! IT IS A MIRACLE CURE!! It works by blocking some of the adrenaline that causes an overactive response in the fight or flight part of our bodies which leads to the rash over my neck.
Bedsores normally occur because of pressure ulcers on the skin. For example, an elderly person who is bed ridden will normally have bed sores. This is because they are constantly in one position and they are not allowing their skin to breathe by the lack of moving.
