Question 5

do i have a latex allergy or glue allergy if tape leaves a rash on me?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: You could be allergic to the adhesive in the tape, or the tape fabric itself, or something else. The only way to know for sure is to see a dermatologist or allergist for patch testing.

Question 6

how accurate is a skin patch test to determine contact allergies which cause itching in absence of an obvious rash?

Accepted Answer

Patch testing: Patch testing is used to identify chemical sensitivities. Contact with these allergens causes a rash at the site of contact. If you do not have a body rash (but only itching) is much less likely that you have contact allergy as the cause of your symptoms. Start by eliminating fragranced products that may contact your skin (detergent, fabric softeners, soaps, lotions).

See doctor: There are many types of rash and many causes (often unknown) for it.  You need to see a dermatologist or allergist for an evaluation.

Accepted Answer

Possible contact: You should probably have a skin biopsy done and if the rash can be cleared up with cortisone creams, patch testing should be done.

itchy rash spread over most of trunk over 3 mo period, derm. says allergic--doesn't know if contact or food allergy. could tomatoes cause this?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: If the dermatologist can clear up the rash with cortisone creams you should send have patch testingdone.If the rash cannot be cleared up then you need to have a biopsy.

Question 10

bad case of butt and thigh rash: is it contact dermatitis from an allergy to something in my running shorts or is it a bacterial or fungal infection?

Accepted Answer

Doubt an allergic: Rash especially in those areas.  Contact dermatitis combined with a sterile or infective folliculitis is more common especially in active runners.  Have your doctor take a look.  If wearing spandex running gear change up to loose cotton running shorts and cotton underwear in the meantime.  Try witch hazel to dry up rash unless painful, then definitely see your doctor.
