I broke out with some acne on my chest, upper back, one spot on lower left lumbar region...

It looks like acne from steroids... but there just one thing... I dont use steroids...

I also read DANDR about food allergies, and I dont know if this may be one of them or not...

any advice is appreciated,
korry

is it similar to what's in the "Itchy Dermatitis?" thread?

I just read the "itchy dermatitis" thread. No, that describes (I saw a picture) more of a rash. I got acne on my chest mostly. I think it all of a sudden appeared the day after I went jogging but didnt carry anyway water with me... (at 2pm ~ 90 degrees F) So, It may have been a dehydration complication... Drinking more water now... see if that helps...


Thanks

ic, goodluck with the skin condition... yep, water really helps in these situations, the rash i have on my stomach is getting less angry (less red) than the other day... chugging at least 4L a day now haha

I actually pick some cortisone-10 (1% hydrocortisone.)

I seems to be effective in reducing the itchiness (anti-inflammatory) so, at least I have some itchiness relief. I asked some people around here about it and they said it sounds like a heat rash, and told me to drink more water.

Water it is... I will try to drink 128 oz...

thanks

Hi--my skin seems to be oilier than it was. I did just get off the Pill and that might have something to do with it, but maybe it's the food.

I think I finally figured out what it is:

Either: Acne (Good Ole Acne!)

OR:

Pityriasis Rosea

Or:

Shingles... (I doubt it)

I think most like its Pityriasis Rosea, but It seems to be "less itchy" while I am outside...

Talked to a pharmacist...

said if MY rash started from the chest all of a sudden and migrating toward neck and other areas, it is most likely a food allergy...

Discontinue Allergic food, and take benadryl to keep the flare ups at bay...

Glad it wasnt the previous Three

Say bye-bye to red peppers!

Too many nightshade veggies, bell peppers, tomatoes, eggplant,(there are other that escape me at the moment) and the bursitis in my shoulder flaires up something terrible!!

After 2 weeks of low-carbing I was diagnosed with shingles. The doc said it was probably due to the physiological stress my body was under. No one warned me about that!

Anyone else experience this problem?
