Question 1

i want to stop mediven betamethasone cream but if i do i get very itchy & rashes which later turns dark like dead skin .i used it before for allergy?

Accepted Answer

See dermatologist: The betamethasone cream only reduces the inflammation and does nothing on the cause for your rash. Thus the rash will return within days after you stop using the cream. You need to consult a dermatologist to try to find out the cause.

Question 2

i have a dark itchy rash on the top of my foot. what should ido?

Accepted Answer

Go see your doctor: Infection? Allergic reaction? Bug bit? Can't diagnose, much less recommend therapeutic options based upon your description. Go see your family doc or dermatologist who can examine you, make diagnosis & offer you appropriate treatment (if indicated).

Question 3

i have a dark extremely itchy rash on the folds of my inner  thighs i found a picture online of what it looks like but no description. what could be?

Accepted Answer

Rec evaluation: A brown velvety color change in the folds of the skin is called acanthosis nigricans and is associated with pre-diabetes and rarely cancer.  This is not usually itchy so recommend evaluation for cause.

Question 4

i have this extremely itchy rash on my back. it is now growing on my chest between my two breast.  it is flat and dark. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Rash: Rashes and skin lesions are impossible to diagnose without seeing them. Please go be evaluated.

Question 5

red itchy rash that turned dark no other symptoms but fatigue have been on him for 2 weeks now wbc was high could this be mold realted?

Accepted Answer

Tick-Born Illness?: I will presume that 'on him' should read 'on abx' for 2 weeks. It sounds as though the treating clinician may have suspected a tick-born source of your rash in the setting of fatigue and prescribed a prolonged course of antibiotics to treat. Mold allergy (any allergy) can cause a variety of symptoms, including rash, but treatment for mold would not require antibiotics.

Question 6

usually before menstration i get an itchy rash under my breasts. i've heard that yeast infections occur in dark warm moist areas - how can i stop this?

Accepted Answer

Keep the area dry: Many women have the same symptoms.  If you will dry the skin with a hair dryer each time you shower or bathe, it will eventually kill the yeast on the skin and the rash will not come back.  It is important to continue to use the hair dryer even when you don't have the rash.

Question 7

weeping itchy rash (clear & thin fluid) above armpit that won't heal. looks like eczema but never had problems with it before. slightly raised, dark. how to heal? maybe started with a razor burn, then turned worse and worse from scratching?

Accepted Answer

Important: Important that you have lesion examined. Needs to be visualized. Lab tests may be required. Please see your GP, Urgent care, or best choice, a Dermatologist.

Question 8

i have a non itchy rash/ bumps that started on my foot and became darker in color then started to heal, the bumps have spread to my stomach and arms?

Accepted Answer

I would recommend: You see a dermatologist. Without seeing the lesions it's difficult to comment.

Question 9

what might cause dry itchy dark patch, itchy breast, itchy rash on back waist area, sudden weight gain, feeling full, daily headaches. and more.

Accepted Answer

Many things: There are many things that could cause those symptoms. Thyroid disease, eczema, diabetes, dietary changes, allergies, and so on. You should see a doctor to have the rash and other symptoms evaluated.

Question 10

what? extremely  itchy rash on thighs, stomach, wrists -perfectly round papules (clear fluid), early menses with dark brown flow, and huge purple zit.

Accepted Answer

It is important to : Seperate these phenomen.  The period is not related to rash onset.  The papules could be a few things but if itching like crazy, at night, u may have a skin mite, bed bugs or something requiring permetharin cream.  The zit is likely coincidental and, if your periods are bad then itching all over and having a zit will put u into disaster mode.  Try Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Hydrocortisone cream, get into doc.
