Had a weird rash for weeks on and off .
Practice nurse originally thought it was an allergy to something - said could be anything from soap powder to hairdye . Said it should clear up .
It hasn't - every couple of days I come out with this horrendously itchy rash . Burns like hell, skin goes papery/scaly and then settles again after a week or so. I've a patch on my tummy, bikini area, lower back, and the worst is around my neck and hairline .
I do use sunblock, I wash my hair daily as I sweat - but I avoid strong shampoos, I don't colour my hair, and I try not to make the rash worse ie I no longer use a hairdryer, straighteners, etc (with what little hair I actually have?!)
I have PCOS and am overweight, dunno if that makes a difference .
Don't want to bother GP again if I can treat over the counter - but no idea what's actually wrong - I've taken to sticking on canesten/steroid cream in desperation!
