No more: dose increase until you talk to the health care provider.

i am experiencing  rash on chest, rash on back, neck pain, rash (quality: itchiness, blisters, flaking or scaling, bumpy)  and skin redness or irritation. the following also describe me: pimples, blackheads, rash on face, and stress. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See dermatologist: If these issues have been present for more than 3 or 4 days and are not improving, you need to consult your doctor (preferably a dermatologist).  If you are getting better, you may wait a few more days and observe how things go. I am concerned over the neck pain  however.

Question 3

i know i have come down with syphyllis 5 weeks ago and getting vey sick, chancre & rash on face neck chest how do i convince dr for treatment right away before i can get positive result i am getting really sick can hardly make it through work and affectin

Accepted Answer

Bumps: Syphilis doesn't present with a lot of general symptoms unless treated and then patients develop generalized symptoms due to the destruction of the syphilis bugs. First stage manifests itself with the chancre, painless ulcer at the site of entry. Secondary syphilis manifests itself with skin changes (rash, anal lesions) primarily. You presentation is not clear, so better be checked first.

Question 4

i had low risk exposure to hiv 3 months ago, i have pimple like rash on face, neck, chest and arms since 9 1/2 weeks till now. could this be hiv rash?

See below: This could be roseola. A common infection in kids to about 2 1/2 years of age. The rash should last about 4 days, then resolve. I would have your child seen.

Question 6

what could cause a skin rash on face, chest and back after the flu?

Accepted Answer

Rash after flu...: ...Raises the suspicion that it wasn't flu. Mono, scarlet fever, and roseola are some of the more common febrile illnesses that have rash as part of the picture.

Question 7

Expected: Acnes is a common side effects after high dose of prednisone. It will go away with time but if it bothers you a lot, ask your doctor to prescribe a retinoid cream for you.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Sounds complicated.: While the two problems seem different (rash, stomach problems), u r righ in that they may be related, especially if u have a h/o allergies or food intolerance. A more thorough  encounter may help pinpoint the cause &amp; a doctor will be able to advise you better. Consider HealthTap Prime or talk to your primary doc for more info; thanks for asking HeathTap, &amp; best of luck on ur search for the cause.
