AIBU to put this in AIBU for maximum exposure as I’m so fed up?! I’ve had a rash for 3 months. Started at the back of my neck, in my hairline, then spread to sides of neck. Then moved to arms and elbows, then thighs, then lower legs, and now is mostly on my back, with itchy outer thighs and a bit on my stomach and boob. It bruises really easily as well.
It changes form, but mostly lots of little bumps under the skin which bleed easily when scratched. It’s SO itchy and prickly ALL THE TIME! Have tried Aveeno, E45, tea tree cream, prescribed steroid cream, anti-fungal cream, scabies treatment (just in case), Sudocreme, etc. I’ve considered all products I use, and everything I eat, but really no change in any of that. Have seen 3 different doctors who have no idea but don’t really seem bothered.
I’m 46, on oestrogen patches and 100mg progesterone since October last year. Generally healthy and size 10-12. But this is really bringing me down as I’m so aware of it day and night because it’s so uncomfortable. Doesn’t feel like my own skin. Just want it to crawl away.
Any ideas/advice much appreciated. I can’t afford a dermatologist unfortunately.
