Chronic Rash: Rash that is unrelenting is tough. Classic medicine works on treating underlying inflammation. Functional medicine works on root cause. The issue with rash is usually the microbiome in the gut or population of bacteria in your gut. You may have food sensitivity and overgrowth of "bad" bacteria due to too much sugar. See someone who can help on addressing root cause of the rash.

Stinging/itching/burning(feeling)/rash. Multiple times a day. Allergist and derm doctors had no answers. For sure not hives or skin issue. Suspect either a nerve or less likely prickly heat. Am I wrong to think this?

1.5 weeks ago I awoke to a cluster of 15 red, itchy bumps on arm. Since then, awake with 1-3 new itchy bumps on both arms. Some red, skin colored, or clustered. Now I have a red, smelly rash on buttcrack. Related? Immune issue? Derm Dr not available?
