Burning red spots on my legs - plz help
Posted , 4 users are following.
I have been experiencing some skin problems on my thighs - big, dry, red - burning areas of rash - lasting for about 4 weeks now. It's not really spreading - but really painful - if scratched blisters and burns just like a moscato bite. Any help would b appreciated, thx!

Eczema is called the "itch that rashes" and not the other way around because it starts as that burning sensation and when you scratch, you get the rash. It's good that it's not spreading...but you'll probably need a doctor/dermatologist to prescribe something to get rid of it.
Before you do, use the search function on this site for "DH". It's a certain skin rash that also blisters as you've described but it's not eczema, it's Coeliac-related. If you look at the leaflet, it shows what the rash could look like.
Try to keep your whole body cool and especially the area of the rash. I don't want to recommend anything to treat the rash, as I don't know exactly what it is and may not give the right advice. Good Luck!

I'm so glad it's not DH in your case! (for my son that would be ideal since he has CD and we'd be fixed up from his strictly GF diet) For relief you may even want to try dampened cotton fabric or gauze on one leg and see if it helps versus the other without. You will still need to see a dr. to get the right medicine, most likely.

oh and another thought.....get an anti dandruff shampoo and use it as a bubble bath....it has anti fungal properties in it...that helped things for me that were on my arms and stopped me from itching....and also my face when I would have bumps and dry patches....clears up quickly.
I'm just offering the many many things I've tried.
