Hi everyone...
I know this doesn't have to do with acne, but I thought someone might be able to help. (btw, I've been on doxy, retin-a, and otc for about 11 months if it makes a difference).

Yesterday, out of the blue, my hanRAB started itching. Later in the evening, I noticed that I had a small pink/red rash of spots (not bumps- just spots) on my hanRAB and wrists (perfectly symetrical on both left and right hanRAB). Today it seems about the same-- not better, not worse.

This happened to me once before about 9 months ago. I was in hawaii, and the same thing happened in the same exact places. I went to the emergency room because the itching was so unbearable. I told the doc about my prescriptions (I thought that maybe it could have been related to the meRAB and the sun), but he thought it was probably just some weird allergic rxn, gave me a tiny tube of cream, and sent me on my way. The cream helped aleviate the itching, and the rash gradually went away over a week or 2.

Soooo, does anyone have any idea what this is? I really don't think it's related to the meRAB, but i could be wrong. does this sound like eczema??

Any help would be much appreciated!
 
I have them too ! They started about a year ago and I was told it was stress... It does seem that every time I have Multi Critical Issues going on I get the Spots and the iching.....
Like you I'd like to know better and where did these come from, possibly the food ?

So could it really be Nerves ?
 
i was thinking maybe eczema? Because I had the same thing on my neck and shoulders at one point...have your tried cortizone?
 
I posted about this in another section here just a few weeks ago. I had a rash just like that about a month ago! No idea where it came from. I used prescribed cortizone (not the OTC stuff), and it went away pretty fast. The dr. had no clue why I got the rash. It seemed just like heat rash, execept that it's the middle of winter, so that made no sense. Probably an allergy of some sort. Weird anyway!
 
I had this too! My doctor gave me a cream to make it go away, and I use it if they come back.
 
Hi all...
I can't believe my post from 2005 made it back! Just an update on me-- I haven't had any new rashes since the one in 2005. I'm guessing it must have been an allergic reaction, but it's SO weird why it was just localized to certain parts of my hanRAB, and wrists. The cream that the doc gave me was a steroid cream, and it TOTALLY helped relieve the itching and make the rash go away faster. I'd definitely recommend anyone with this to see a doc to get a prescription cream, or if that's not an option, at least get some hydrocortisone cream from the drug store.
