Question 3

can too much biotin cause an itchy rash?

Accepted Answer

I haven't seen that: I use biotin in my patients with brittle nails and I have never seen a rash with it.  The only way to know is to stop the biotin, see if the rash resolves, then start it again, although, if you are truly allergic, this could be dangerous and should only be done under the observation of your doctor.

Question 4

i stopped taking biotin. could that cause a rash on my back and chest?

Accepted Answer

No: Biotin is a water-soluble B-complex vitamins that helps enzymatic function in the body. It is rare for people to have a deficiency; adults should not get more than 20-30 units per day. There is a characteristic rash of biotin excess: facial acne..so the rash you describe shouldn't be a delayed reaction from getting too much. Rashes don't develop when you stop something. Look for another cause:)

Question 5

i'm taking fish oil, vitamin a, e, c, biotin , and theanine.  today i woke up with a rash on the outer part of my thighs that is itchy.what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Dermatitis: Contact dermatitis, allergy, drug reaction less likely, bed bugs.....Lots of possibilities.

Question 6

my friend has a skin rash, he said it started out small and just it started to spread. red areas and is itchy. what kind of rashes could it be?

Accepted Answer

Multiple causes: If could be related to bites/scabies or may have started from something his skin came in contact with. Have your doctor examine it to make the diagnosis and begin proper treatment. All the best

Question 7

is it possible to develop a skin rash just from dry skin or are skin rashes caused by allergies?

Accepted Answer

Yes: and in the case of dry skin, one may see small raised bumps especially at the extremities. These will often be prevented by using a moisturizer with 3 minutes after bathing. A rash can also be induced by scratching as well. Some skin rashes are caused by allergies (often contact, drug etc) while many are not.

Question 8

i have allergy, probably to ponstan 500. the skin rash is nearly gone after 5 days, but now i start to have really bad rashes. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Something else?: If the rash improved without treatment only to return a few days after (your dates were not defined), then the problem may be from something other than the drug implicated.  If the rash was treated and returned after the treatment was stopped, then the rash (if due to the drug) may last for 2-3 weeks.

Question 9

skin rash since 6 days, dr diagnosd as viral exanthem. prescribd triamcelone ointment & atarax. rashes are increasing, spreading all over. is this nr?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: If it is a viral exanthem it will continue coming out until it fades. It represents a combination of dead virus and antibodies that leak out of capillaries under the skin.Sometimes a hot shower or bath will speed the process. It is usually faded within 2 wks. The atarax is for any itching an the steroid cream is ????. I suppose they give you something to do.

Question 10

i get skin rash every so often in different parts of my body.the rashes are ongoing and itchy. i've been to a dermatologist and it was inconclusive. i currently have a rash on my face chest and hands.

Accepted Answer

Dermatitis: Dermatitis is an allergic response by your skin to anything irritating. It could be something you ate, something new you used near your skin or a response to an environmental allergen such as a pet or pesticide. Use an oral Antihistamine for itch relief and antiinflammatory effect.
