I thought you had a heat rash :confused: Maybe it's herpes?

What was that weird rash you had on your neck last week? Maybe this is the same thing :shrug:

could be ringworm, if its in a circle. try putting tinactin on it...if it goes away or stops itching..it was ringworm

I already told you, that wasn't a rash and I'd like for you to keep my personal business out of the open forums TYVM :pete:

Up and down both arms? Doesn't sound like ringworm IMO.

You're right...i ignored that part :doh:...but anything in a recognizable circle makes one think of ringworm. Some can have larger reactions than others...which MAY explain larger diffuse areas of rash...but its worth a little tinactin...couldn't hurt anyway.

Sorry, :huggy: I was just trying to help her. When my head itched really bad, I posted about it on the forum and everyone told me that it was probably because I had lice. If it wasn't for that, I would still have bugs living in my hair.

True, it can't hurt. I've just never heard of ringworm doing all that.

And when were you going to tell me you exposed me to lice? :cds:

No wonder that cream isn't working :rolleyes:

You need to rub mayonaise on it and then take a cold oatmeal bath. Don't use the fake stuff either. No miracle whip, only Best Foods (Hellman's) or it won't work.

Do this every other hour for 2 days straight and you will be cured. This is right out of the home remedies journal.

:clap: I'm glad to see your are trying to make up for the crappy advice you gave her last week.

Maybe it's just me, but if I had a rash on both arms that was getting worse and itched, I'd be calling the doctor ASAP.

But that's just me. :coffee:

I admit the butter thing was just a play on the old Seinfeld episode, but Im being serious now. This would help her out, and in another 2 years I will have my Dr degree anyways.

Good luck to you jp

Yes but you need to add a cup of tartar sauce and a tablespoon of Tabasco.

DONT SCRATCH! Especially when you dont know what it is, im going to guess poison oak,ivy or maybe sumac. How long has it been there?

Have you tried using Benedryl, either the pill form or the spray? I'd try the spray, as the pills can make you very tired.

believe it or not the doctor told me benadryl was useless to use on this kind of rash. she put me on steriods and gave me steriod cream which wont be in til tomorrow late afternoon at the pharmacy. Thanks for the suggestion BSGal :)

Hey you stole my AV!

Try it anyway. There is a reason they call doctors "practicing" physicians.
