r/Rashesandtreatments

50M has some lesions that have been present for 5+ weeks. No dermatological hx outside of allergy to aluminum, no new meds but will list what is being taken below:

Venlafaxine
Buspirone
Lisinopril
Amlodipine
Atomoxatine

These are most densely present on the back of thighs, buttocks and more sporadically (and smaller) present on trunk (front and back). Pictured is the first lesion and same one 5 weeks later. Other pix are from today.

These have no oozing, no crusting, no pus. There is a fine layer of what appears to be dead skin that’s sloughing on many (apparent healthy pink skin below, no bleeding).

No pain, itchiness or awareness. No exposure to anything new, no fresh tick bites and no risk of fungal issues like ringworm. Humans and pets in the house are symptom-free.

Observation has been the course of action. I’m now implementing cleaning with diluted chx daily and applying triple antibiotic in the AM, miconazole cream in the PM to cover most the bases.

I look forward to hearing from the community.

I’m on 40 mg steroids a day it’s day 5 this started wednesday and started itching with welts/hives and then just spread and turned into rashes. Not sure what it could be, I’m also taking Zyrtec for this. I’m also taking Zyrtec, I was working out side prior so maybe heat rash or poison ivy or the week prior I tried a Chinese snack that had shrimp powder which I’m allergic to sea food and I spit out right away after find out. doctors think it’s an allergic reaction and that the steroids should help but today is my 4th day taking the medication. so maybe it takes a while to kick in or show improvement. started around the waist like then just spread every where. The pictures I post will be the progression after every day

Helpppp what is this rash I don’t have my allergy testing for 3 weeks.

Had it for months at this point but getting worse, kinda uncomfortable, itchy randomly not always. Lotion seems to help sometimes but make it worse other times. It’s also been coming and going on my arms but my stomach is the worst.

Been plagued by itchy bumps on my skin all over my body for like the last two months after I got my kitten (might just be a coincidence) on my legs, stomach, breasts and lower back sometimes, arms sometimes also but not as frequent. Marks are veryyyy itchy and go away after about a week. Sometimes they become fluid filled blisters. Not in any suspicious groupings, but do happen to pop up around the same area when a fresh batch pops up. Start as a welt and then look just like a bug bite. No one else in my house is having this reaction.
My only thoughts is that I have some sort of skin condition, or that I’m having a bad reaction to my kitten, who kneads my skin with her nails sometimes, and just scratches in general when she plays.
Posting a picture of some of the marks in hopes yall can tell me what this is please before I take my ass to urgent care 😪

I noticed it a week ago after I thought it was two itchy bug bites. I was told to ice it and it should go away. Now it's grown from two small, raised circles to a figure 8, it's leaking fluid, and it's more itchy than before.
