Burning, Sweating, I Need to Know What This Is! Please Help!
Posted: 01-24-05 22:08pm

For the past five months or so I have been suffering on and off with a skin problem. I'm 22 years old, and i've never had a problem before, and I am very confused. What started off as what I thought was pityriasis rosea never really ended ended.

I started off with hives all over my body that started to burn. During the hives I also broke out on my back. I noticed the texture of my skin to be changing. I went to the doctors and was prescribed drug after drug. The hives left, but the burning, sweating, and terrible pimples, bumps, and discoloration on my back has not gone away.

Every time I get stressed I feel my body heat up. It's like my blood is boiling itself. Sometimes it can last up to 6 hours long! Its like I have a horrible sunburn, and I never go out to the sun. In fact i've always taken such good care of my skin. I did have acne somewhat on my back when I was a teenager, but never, never, did it burn like this. I've been to dermatologists, and doctors.

The derms seem to this its foliclotis, but all they've prescribed me has not made it go away. I just want to stop burning. I am scared to death of the summer, because last summer my body hated the heat. It's spared my face for the most part, but I feel terrible. I even wash my face in spring water now and i've become obsessive. I just want it to stop interfering with my life! It's like I never know when its going to stir up anymore, and its making me miserable! Has anyone gone through this? It's like i'm going through menopause!!!! Please help me. :(

Sweating At Night And Red Hive Skin Bumps On Abdominal Sides

:( I feel your pain

i am not going through menopause, but I had a baby 5 weeks ago and have been having the common night sweats. I first thought the profusive sweats have in turn given me a bad rash on both sides of my stomach, but now i'm wondering if I have something else. I looked up fifth's disease and also pupps, but am not sure. I also took my son in to the pediatrician and she looked at my symptoms and said she simply thought it was inflammed hair folicles. The rash has spread a little, but today the hydrocortisone cream and neosporin have seemed to help a little.

Any advice?

The hair follicle thing could be what I was told I had, foliculitis. I don't think I really have menopause either, i'm only 22... But god, this burning feels that way. :( I have no idea what it is. I've tried that cream as well, but everytime it seemed to improve, it came right back for me. I've look at dozen's of skin conditions online, and all it does is drive me crazy. I have another doctor appointment on thursday. Sigh... I wish I could give you advice, but I have no idea what my problem is, and until or if I ever find out, I can't help anyone. :(

I'm only 18 and I have pityriasis rosea. Just like everybody else I thought I had bed lice or an allergic reaction to the soap or perfume I was wearing. At first I thought nothing of it until they began to spread from my stomach to my back and also to my arms and my inner thigh. This scared me because I had no idea what this could be. I set an appointment and the doctor told me that this skin disorder was quite popular and that a few people had been making appointments about this same rash. She prescribed some hydrocortisone and histex i/e for the itching. But what she failed to tell me was to not scratch it. I always thought one didn't have to scratch a virus for it to spread, I thought it would do that on it's own. Well... It did spread and the only places the rash isn't present is my toes,my hands, my face and my hair. Everywhere else, i'm covered with these bumps from hell that will last up to, but may be longer than 6-10 weeks. This sucks!!!
