Is contact dermatitis agitated by hot water?

---

I'm trying to figure out what this rash might be from it seems to go away, but when I take a hot shower it seems to come back with little tiny red dots. What could it be from?
I think it's aggravated by hot water and excessive cleansing. Try a very gentle cleanser like Cetaphil and no harsh rubbing with a wash cloth. A little Cortizone 10, applied very sparingly helped mine, but you may want to see a dermatologist to rule out other skin conditions like lupas .  (+ info)

Contact Dermatitis - What moisturizing cream worked for you?

---

I have had this on my fingers for months - I clean alot and therefore was using chemicals that my skin didn't agree with. I have since started using gloves whenever in water and all that but would like to see if anyone has used a good cream. And I'm not talking lotions - I mean heavy duty good hand creams. I have been using pure glycerin and then cotton gloves but that hasn't cleared it up. Let me know what worked for you.
Aveeno works great.  (+ info)

I have chronic contact dermatitis, does anyone know of any treatments for when it erupts?

---

I have been to the Doctor and had patch tests done but they all seem to be useless and the doctors aren't listening to me when I explain what’s happening. I don’t know what is causing it, but i need something in the mean time to help with the pustules, sores, crusting and weeping. it’s really painful. Please someone help!
skin ailments are the most frustrating conditions because they are difficult to treat, they often have psychological reasons or are due to allergies or -none wants to hear that- a genetic predisposition.

My advice:
1) try to get a specialized dermatologist to see you when the problem is apparent.
2) avoid all possible irritants/allergenic materials from fabric softener to textiles.
3) avoid allergenic food
4) make sure that you are in good health overall and do not stress too much, stress affects your skin more than you'd know

5) make sure your skin is well moisturized. Use a dermatological moisturizer. Your skin is much more likely to be sensitive when it is dry. For a similar problem -that was very painful with bleeding, sores etc.- I used vaseline and I stopped using commercial soap [I use a pharmaceutical liquid cleaner that is more expensive but more gentle with my skin, you can find a variety of similar stuff at your drugstore].

Maybe your problem is more serious than mine but for me, as long as I make sure that my skin is well moisturized and never gets dry it is perfectly healthy. It sounds too simple, I know, and I never believed I could solve my horrid looking sores by vaseline but it happened. At times I looked at my skin -at my arms- and I was sure it would never look normal again and now none would know I had this problem.

Give it a go.   (+ info)

I am using Oilatum Emollient cream and wash He did say it could be coming from within meaning a virus in my body. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this the itching is driving me mad and I look like i've been in a fight, its also at the sides of my nose at the very top. Any ideas please.

sometimes when you're allergic to the material the piercing is made out of, you'll get a reaction. which is why surgical steel and gold are so popular -- people are rarely allergic.  (+ info)

do you think I have eczema and contact dermatitis?

---

whenever I go outside in extreme cold or hot weather my skin turns bright red, when I drink cold or hot drinks it turns red, when I exercise too hard my face is red, and even if i rub it. Could this be part of eczema AND contact dermatitis? Even when I am mad or depressed my face breaks out. And what treatment could I get for this? Would cortisone be a good choice?
If it is just a red flush with no other symptoms, I don't think it is eczema.

Eczema skin is dry, itchy and inflammed. You get rashes and marks that you can't help not itching and scratching.

If eczema is not what you are having, I don't suggest cortisone. Cortisone comes with side effects. I know - I am an eczema sufferer.  (+ info)

What is the best cure for the red rash under eyes due to contact dermatitis?

---

Are you wearing latex gloves and rubbing your eyes? If so, try an alternative type of glove. An antihistimine should help control your reaction and help relieve discomfort. Creams may relieve skin reactions brought on by a latex allergy, just don't get it in your eyes.
Although medications are available to reduce the symptoms of latex allergy, there is no cure for a latex allergy. Treatment is prevention. The only way to prevent an allergic reaction is to avoid products containing latex.  (+ info)
