Question 1

Accepted Answer

No: Alcohol withdrawal causes nervous system irritability and more dangerously seizures, never rashes.

Question 2

is it safe to drink alcohol when i have rashes that was caused by allergic to certain cream?

Accepted Answer

Yes: as long as the ingredient in the cream that you reacted to wasn't alcohol. Remember that alcohol causes flushing of the skin, which could make your rash itch more temporarily. Never drink to excess, and don't mix alcohol with the antihistamines that are commonly used to treat allergic reactions. Hope this helps!

Question 3

my hand skin is irritated without a rash or any visible reason.scratching it and rubbing alcohol alleviate the irritation but for a limited time.this seems to come for 3 days and then dissapear for a week.i am 17 with no illnesses.what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Inbox consult: You may upload a photo of your hand to an inbox consult with Healthtap. We can assess your condition and make specific recommendations for therapy. From your description, avoid rubbing alcohol and try using an oatmeal paste on the skin and then rinse. There may be a local irritant on the skin which is causing a reaction. Also use an over the counter eczema lotion a few times per day until seen.

Question 6

does lamisil (terbinafine) create rashes on body? i have been taking it after i came back from ecuador. i also take seroquel and sometimes alcohol

Accepted Answer

Rash: It would be rash to try and diagnose a cutaneous eruption without seeing it. Yours sounds like it may either be a contact dermatitis or an allergic reaction, but there are several diseases endemic to South America which can produce lesions of this nature. Would strongly suggest that you find an infectious diseases expert to see you. Bring along a full list of all sites of travel, contacts, animals

Question 7

i drank alcohol, the next day i woke up i got red spots or rashes in my back, chest and arms.is it allergy?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Persons may develop allergic antibodies to the componets of wine (grape) or beer (barley, rye, hops) or even to the brewer's yeast. Some are also sensitive to the perservatives used such as sulfites. Un-sulfited wine is available in most wine shops. If consumption of any food or beverage repeatly results in an allergic symptom, then you are by definition allergic, regardless of the mechanism.

Question 8

i have itchy skin on back of calves. they appear to look like rashes and turn to scabs  don't go away. they get worse when i drink alcohol or shave.?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like eczema: Sounds like you may have some eczema, although this isn't the most common place for it.  It would be best to let a doctor look at these rashes -- start with your primary care doctor, and if need be, see a dermatologist.  Good luck to you.

Question 9

i get jock's itch, facial and neck rashes and itch and dry skin the next day i consume alcohol. what could be the problem? i am 46 years old,on obese side,drink alcohol,say weekly...sugar and cholestrol border line with poor eating, not on medication

Accepted Answer

Easy to explain: It makes you sweat more and move less while sleeping. I'm glad you're eager to make a change. You're still young and probably vigorous. Head down to the local gym or sports center, let others see that you're working hard on your body, and they'll accept you as a friend and support you in your body transformation. A lot more is at stake than just the skin in your groin and neck. Best wishes.

Question 10
