Years ago I spend two weeks in the hospital because I was bleeding from every pore, was itching everywhere. My head, between my toes, you just name the place and yes there too........... Saw many dermatologist, but none had the answer. Saw the last doctor ten years ago. She is the only one in our town and it has gone to her head. I believed that I saw on the internet some new ways to deal with this horrible itching. Made an new appointment............ Yep, the same arrogant person. One question allowed if you have more, see your doctor. If my family doctor had the answer he would not have send me to her. She does not even say “hello” ignores you for awhile and then she ask you what is the problem. Chronic itching you tell her, you don’t get a chance to explain further, as she goes to my legs and tells me dry skin. She gets up and goes to her desk. “Lets see when I will see you again” she says. I piped up and told her, “lets make it another ten years” Her reaction to this? “I will make it twenty years” My family doctor found it difficult to believe she said that.
Rachie, trust me she knew from my answer exactly what I meant, she just does not care. I would have to drive to Vancouver to find another dermatologist and since I have seen so many in the past, I don't believe there is help............

I am sure she did
Sometimes simple changes in our diet can help with skin problems. If I avoid glutten and eat a clean diet I'm ok.
If I don't have red itchy, blotchy, dry rashes that appear on my face. Then I am forced to use thinning cream. I'll stick with a clean diet.
Don't give up because of one bad apple. Although I truly understand. I have only ever been in hospital once besides child birth. One nurse nearly killed me. I said to my ex. I'd rather died from the condition I had at the time than her kill me. Not clearing air bubbles when putting in an I.V put air in the blood stream. It took a lot from him to make me stay.

You name it and it has been tried, When in the hospital, I saw so many dermatologist it made my head swim. They were puzzled but did not had the answer No rasches, nothing to see, fasting etc, it makes no differents.what I have tried
It sounds like it might be either exema or psoriasis....excema usually will blister and psoriasis is flakey....for my exema only a 2% steroid cream will clear it up...for psoriasis im not sure...my mother has it and says the tanning booth helps but im not sure besides that what she takes if anything....
Mercedes_00: I would of said go and get well and truly stuffed
Mercedes when I left her office I was so angry, I started to let her have it in a letter. I changed my mind as she is the type to laugh at it. You just wast your time with her Her reviews telling her how very rude she is did not change her.............

It is neither psoriasis nor excema No flakey skin to be seen nor blisters. Skin is dry and oil soaks in right away but the itching is staying Jenny
Because of your weather I reckon it's a winter rash
The best way to prevent winter rash is to avoid cold climates and dry air entirely. Try these prevention tips if you don’t spend your winter in a warm climate:
Invest in a humidifier to add moisture to the air around you. Whole-house, single-room, and personal humidifiers are available. Find a great selection on Amazon.com. Bathe less often, lather up at little as possible, and avoid hot water. Consider bathing every other day during the winter, when your body may not sweat as much or get as dirty. Use natural, fragrance-free soaps made from glycerin, goat milk, shea butter, or olive oil. Wear clothes made from breathable natural fibers, such as cotton and hemp, to help reduce skin irritation and overheating. Protect your hands by wearing gloves every time you go outside in cold weather. You should also wear protective gloves when you wash dishes, immerse your hands in water for an extended period, or clean with chemical products. Prevent winter sunburns by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen that has an SPF of 30 or higher when you spend time outdoors. Limit the time you spend in front of fires, which decrease humidity and expose your skin to intense heat.
Skip hot baths. Because heat can cause your skin to dry out, avoid taking very hot baths in winter. ... Use a gentle soap. ... Try a thick moisturizer. ... Avoid contact with certain materials. ... Try a humidifier. ... Drink plenty of water. ... Take vitamin D supplements.
