Dry, red, itchy, bumpy skin? I tried Eucerin, Aveeno...OUCH!!! HELP Please!?

Question

It is on my legs and arms and itches.

Answer 1

You need a good moisturizer something like Lipikar Balm. It absorbs nicely without leaving a greasy feeling and it soothes. My Dermatologist is against baby oil because it clogs the pores.

Answer 2

Itchy Bumpy Skin

Answer 3

Try Hydrocortisone (1%) cream, gel, and ointment are available without a prescription. It is commonly used to treat skin inflammation and itching. It makes the bumps go away and is soothing. The other product you are using may be too harsh for you. You may have sensitive skin or an allergy. if it doesnt go away with the cream then talk to a dermatologist!

Answer 4

From the sound of it, you may be sensitive to gluten. That means that you may have to restrict how much wheat you consume. Do an interent sear for Celiac's Disease and see if you fit the criteria.

Try to eliminate bread from your diet. My wife has a rash on her leg that flares up every so often. The allergist told her she's sensitive to gluten, but not bad enough to develop Celiac's Disease. Try cornbread instead of regular bread. If you must have bread, have as little as possible. You'll see that it clears up as your wheat consumption goes down.

Answer 6

Gold Bond medicated cream works well, but you should get it checked out to see what's causing the rash - are you using a new laundry soap? Bath soap? Lotion? Fabric softener? Any change in what you've been using could be the culprit.

Answer 7

You really need to read "Banish My Bumps" by Angela Steinberg (also available in electronic format here: http://www.banishbumps.com ). It's about how to permanently cure your Keratosis Pilaris naturally. I was able to clear my skin in only 7 days after reading this.

Stop paying paying each month good money on creams. This is exactly what the pharmaceutical industry wants you to do! They want to milk money from you each month.

Answer 8

hi...if its itching and red then you might be having a reaction to something...have you been near any plants (like poison ivy). See your dermatologist quickly. Make sure you wash your hands after you itch b/c it might spread to other parts of the body. Try buying poison ivy ointment from ur local pharmacy. You can even show ur rash to the Pharmist thats working there.

Answer 9

try calamine lotion, or cortaid or an anti itch cream---Could it possibly be Chicken Pox--might be poison ivy, OR an allergic reaction to soap or detergent or lotion that you are using (Have used anything new recently?)--If it doesn't go away get it looked at. Also try Oatmeal baths (you can get the packets in Heatlh and Beauty at your local store)--it helps relieve some itching

Answer 10

What you've tried so far hasn't helped, so you need to first find out what this is - contact dermatitis, allergic dermatitis or something more. See your primary care provider for evaluation.
