Recurring Rash Posted: 01-06-07 01:57am
When I was about 17 I developed a rash
that started on my elbows and spread down
my arms to my wrists and also on my knees
and feet (mainly my toes) it was very
itchy. I went to a dermatologist who
didn't know what it was and gave me a
steroid cream. The cream did not help.
The rash eventually went away on it's own.
Since then the rash has reocurred, not
as severely though. Every few months I
will get a few spots on my fingers or just
on my knees. The rash seems to appear
during or around my menstrual cycle. The
rash has returned this time with a
vengance, it is on both of my legs from
hip to ankle and on my arms from elbow to
wrist. This rash itches horribly. I've
taken benadryl wich helped with the
itching but the rash did not go away. I
have been using over the counter anti-itch
creams to get by. I don't want to spend
the money for a doctor visit if they just
tell me they don't know what it is. Can
someone help identify this please. Your
help is appreciated.
