Accepted Answer

Not anaphylaxis: Anaphylaxis refers to acute allergic reaction with loss of blood pressure, passing out, tight airway, sudden difficulty breathing. The cause is usually known. You have something quite different. You need a diagnosis-----scabies or whatever----and your Dr should call a dermatologist for you to be seen on an urgent basis.

Question 2

what foods might be the cause of me breaking out (swollen lips, skin rashes)?

Accepted Answer

Allergies: Sounds like you are having an allergic reaction to certain foods. It would be smart to get yourself tested, since an allergic reaction to a specific food may cause your tongue to rapidly swell up, causing a life threatening situation.

Question 3

i have rashes on and of on my lips.i have tried all creams and tablets but nothing.i need home remedy.im tired of pills and creams.they come n go.help?

Accepted Answer

Address the cause: Seems the treatments you have tried are not addressing the cause. One common cause of rashes is food allergies- common allergens include dairy, gluten, eggs, soy, citrus & almonds- try avoiding for 2 weeks and add back one at a time. You might also be deficient in b vitamins, essential fatty acids or zinc. If these measures don't help consult a holistic md- see http://www.Abihm.Org/search-doctors.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Inconclusive: The sensitivity of serologic testing for detection of HSV-2 (IgG antibody) vary from 90- to 100%, which means this test may result in false negative in up to 10% of infected patients.  I would repeat the test.

Question 6

hi, i just wanna ask about any cream that can use for my vagina because of itchiness? :( when i touch it, i feel rashes on the lips and clit part, i believe this is because of liners and napkins. thank you for the help doc!

Accepted Answer

Diagnosis: Vaginal itching without discharge can indicate infections like yeast or herpes. It can indicate an allergic reaction to household products like certain soaps and laundry detergents. There are also some skin conditions liked lichen sclerosis which can cause vaginal itching. Prevaleaf Soothe is my favorite over the counter treatment for patients to try. An exam is needed to make a diagnosis

Question 9

my son has a rash below the right lips. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Lip sucking: While it is impossible to say for sure without examining the child, one good possibility is lip sucking.  Many children have a lip sucking habit when they are nervous. This can caus a rash from both the teeth rubbing on the skin and the saliva sitting on the skin.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Possible: Irritated mucosal surface develop inflammatory reaction. So be gentle with your skin or mucosal surfaces.
