Todd...........My doctor prescribed Phisohex Soap. You used to be able to buy
this over the counter but now it's prescription. It cleared this on my legs in
a week...Cody

Todd,
Another couple things to do for rash.......NEVER bathe
or shower with hot water, warm only and one of my
dermatologists told me not to use a wash rag....just
my hands to wash! Hope this helps!! jan

I know that we have talked about rashes before.
A few months before TM, I had little red dots all over my body,
so my doctor at that time took a biopsy of one and it came back as hives. Just
told me that there wasn't anything he could do for me.
I had rashes on my chest and down both arms few months ago. I
saw two MD doctors, they both gave me different creams, which didn't work.
Some of the rashes looked like ringworm, but not all of the rashes. Finally
both doctors thought it would be good for me to see a Allergy & Asthma doctor.
I have never had any problems with coughing, running nose, or
eye watering. But the hives could have been an allergic.
They did some test to see what I was allergic too. Now they
give me shots with mite immunotherapy & environmental control until I have
improvement of allergic symptoms.
We put on a hypo-allergenic pat on our bed and use a Dove
sensitive skin unscented beauty soap bar, hypo-allergenic, & fragrance fee.
I'm also using a Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream. All of this has helped so much
with the rashes.
With our auto immune system & TM, we can now be allergic to new
things, that we weren't before.
