Question 1

my skin started itching for the past 3 weeks, it feels as if i was rolling in grass, it is unbearable, please help!

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: See your doctor to get a diagnosis and treatment. You can use an over the counter antihistamine and cool compresses to help the itching till you can see your doctor.

Question 2

my daughter has been with a runny/stuffed nose for about 2 weeks.sneezes alot i think is allergies to grass.she has brown spots in her mouth?

Accepted Answer

See Your Doctor: Child’s age is not given and is necessary to provide a full assessment. Much more info is needed such as duration, presence of other symptoms (itchy/watery eyes), cough, and more. “Brown spots” in mouth require visual inspection to identify cause and relationship to symptoms. See your doctor. Start a daily diary of all symptoms, suspected triggers, and bring to doctor appt for further evaluation.

Question 3

21 weeks preg. fell on my bottom onto grass. no bleeding, should i go to the emergency room. anterior placenta so don't feel baby move really anyway.

Accepted Answer

Call Ob Triage...: If you weren't injured, its unlikely that your baby was hurt.  If you start bleeding or cramping you should be evaluated.  Most hospitals have an area on the Labor and Delivery unit called "Ob Triage" where pregnant women can go for evaluation.  You might try calling the Labor and Delivery unit at your hospital and find out. Many ERs don't have a lot of experience with pregnancy issues like this.

Question 4

i have about 35 bites on the back of my leg from lower calf to just above my knee. they do not itch. they are red, slightly raised with a white ring. i was outside for a moment, but not in the grass. any idea what they might be? this also happened a week

Accepted Answer

Multiple  red papule: Could be  allergic reaction/ eczema, rarely psoriasis,  You can see if  topical steroids  and antihistamines zyrtec (cetirizine) helps. if worsens consider antibiotics  bacitracin or oral antibiotics. it is  summer and there are a lot of allergens outside. if it were bulleyes  rash  think tick/ lyme  i always test for lyme because it is so treatable and effects are significant .  F/U w/ doc/ urgent ca

Question 5

had a bug bite on ankle 4 weeks ago while on east coast in a wildlife area (no high grass).   no rash or other symptoms. worthwhile to test for lyme?

Accepted Answer

Bugbite: The incubation period for Lyme's can extend to 30 days. Since you are symptom free, you shouldn't have a problem but for your peace of mind it can't hurt to be tested.

Accepted Answer

Nerve: I suspect some nerve damage occurred during that fall. If so, nerve healing is often a prolonged process. It's worthwhile to have an up to date evaluation and examination by your physician or an orthopedic specialist. Alterations to your physical therapy program may be needed and possible referral to a neurologist may be recommended.

Question 9

can you be alergic to grass?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: This is a common allergy.

Question 10

Grass allergy: No. There are many things on grass to which folks may be 'allergic' like dust, mites, other plant pollens, etc. But many folks aren't allergic at all.
