Skin rash

[tinkerbell23]

Back of both calfs...
Red rash and dry skin

No change in washing powder etc...

He feels like he wants to shove his legs in ice water!
Ive used some hc45 on it and slathered in vaseline to moisturize plus antihisthamine?

What could cause that- it flared up twice , first episode was two weeks ago?

[factor-fiction]

Is he scratching them?
It could be bed bugs but it could just be an infection
I have the same problem with my skin at this time of the year. E45 cream helps. If it continues he could see the doctor who may prescribe something stronger if it's a fungal infection

Iced water? I find scorching hot water relieves the itching but it's not good for my skin I know

Has he been wearing wellies - have they rubbed back of leg?

[tinkerbell23]

No its not bed bugs or wellies- no sweat rash as its higher up aswell from
Sock line!! Scratched one leg till it bled :0/

Has he tried scratching mitts/boxing gloves?

Have you got germoline or savlon to rub on until the chemist is open tomorrow?

[tinkerbell23]

Will put savlon on later yeah was just using the hc45 to get the itch out & cool down!!

He wouldnt manage with them ann but thanks!!! Hopefully this works just weird where its came from xx

[tinkerbell23]

I meant factor not ann! Sorry LOL xx

It's due to the dry weather. Smoothly rub in some toothpaste.

Get some lanacane cream from the chemist tomorrow, put copious amounts all over the itchy area, it will give some relief until the doc can have a look at it.

If you're going to the chemist as suggested by daffy, get your bloke to go too, and ask the pharmacist to take a look it - he may be able to identify it straight away and you may not need a prescription.

toothpaste ? dermatitis, maybe ?
