Hi Anyone,

I keep getting rashes on my wrists/hanRAB and feet.

On the wrists, the bumps are smaller, and over the course of about a week, seem to spread all over my wrist, look a bit like blisters toward the end, become "flatter," then (finally!) heal.

When rashes appear on my feet, they look just like hives and also seem to spread all over the foot.

The itching drives me CRAZY.

I have no idea what causes this. I've been getting them on-and-off for... 15 years? Through different homes, laundry soaps, shower products, etc.

My questions are:
1) Does anyone have any idea why I get rashes only on these two body parts and never anywhere else?
2) Suggestions on what could possibly be the cause?
3) Most importantly, how to deal with the itching?

I have never gone to a doctor because I guess I just don't really believe the prescription cream they give me will work. (OTC Cortisone doesn't help...) But

4) What do you think a doctor could give me; is there a certain RX I should request?

Thank you!
 
Well, finding the cause is better than treating it topically. A doctor may be able to discern the cause. Have you tried taking an antihistamine when it breaks out? Perhaps benedryl or zyrtec as they are the ones normally given for rashes.
