Skin rash and

Posted , 2 users are following.

For about 4 days I had itchy skin, especially on my hands and feet. I have small bumps like hives and at night the sensation is much more pronounced. My girlfriend had these symptoms for about 2 months and a few days ago was diagnosed with Toxocara Canis after she did some medical test (analyzes) and now she is undergoing treatment for parasites.

I think it could also be a sexually transmitted disease that she didn't told me about.

I will upload a picture with her arm.

What do you think?image

    I wonder why you doubt her diagnosis? Her rash has been identified and is being treated. Its not an STI. Your rash on hands and feet sounds like something different and not an STI.

    Photos of your rash would be helpful.

      Thanks for the replay!

      I'm worried because that's how my girlfriend started, also with such itching and bumps.

      More recently, she also has some bumps on her belly and that's why I think it could be a sexually transmitted disease.

      I will attach a picture with the one that appeared to me.image

      This doesnt look like any STI. It looks more like dermatitis or eczema. Eczema can be caused by worry...are you worried about your relationship with your girlfriend?

      You can try taking an anti histamine like cetrizine, one per day which may help and also applying a 1% hydrocortisone cream...you should be able to buy both of these in your pharmacy. If they dont help or make it worse then stop straitaway.

      If you are convinced you have the same problem as your girlfriend then why not get tested as she has done?

      If nothing helps,why not see your doctor?
