I have this rash on my arm that doesn't seem to be going away no matter what kind of cream I put on it so I'm gonna go see her.

I also have had this rash I get between my fingers since I was in the 6th Grade. It comes and goes about every 2-3 weeks and it itches like crazy. I can remember getting teased about the rash in school because I would be scratching and you can imagine preteen and teen boys their minds how they work well I got teased because of the way I was scratching my rash. Maybe she can figure out what it causing it and make it go away for good. My GP had been giving me a cream for it but it no longer works for it. I have tried yeast infection cream, hydrocortisone cream, the prescription cream, neosporin, just hand lotion, medicated hand lotion and the list goes on and on. When I worked at BK and had to wash my hands a bazillion times during my shift it was murder on my hands and made the rash even worse but was told well maybe you're just allergic to the soap or the gel we used on top of washing our hands. But I no longer wash my hands like I did when I worked there or use the antibacterial gel as often as then. So I know its not that.

So here's hoping eternal she can figure it out. I like her she is awesome.

buggy do you wear jewelry? I had the same thing happen when I wear jewelry that has nickel in it. I can only wear gold or I break out just like that.

I rarely wear jewelry so don't think it could be that.

As for the eczema thing it is possible as I had the frequently as a young child. I've had cream for that though and it hasn't worked.

Jbug, hope they figure it out for you!! I've had weird rashes and exzema before, and it's totally not fun either way - so I hope a solution is found to help you out!
