Itchy Burn

[Guest guest]

a -

The blisters itch and burn at first and when they break it gets itchier and

burns more. Then it dries, cracks, flakes and hurts. It also leaves a red

patch there that doesn't go away for some time. When you say scales I think

of fish and I don't want to associate that with my skin (ew!!) But the

layer of skin flakes off. I am sensitive to milk and don't drink it, the

other stuff I don't eat enough of to let it bother my. My fingernails are

usually in good condition, but get kind of fanned out if I am not getting

enough Iron.

I was in a lot of pain yesterday afternoon and last night, to the point of

tears. It has carried over to today. I think I am going to call the liver

doc instead of waiting for him to call me. Bye for now.

P.S. Is heat supposed to be helpful? Someone told me it was and it helps

while the heat is on, but afterward it seams to get worse. Does anyone know

if aquatic exercise is good?

With eczema (Atopic Dermatitis) , the skin breaks out and

itches with burning and stinging. Sometimes little pimples

form which turn into water blisters. Usually the skin dries

up into little scales and itches. (25-50 percent of atopic

people have food sen-

sitivities to wheat, eggs, milk, peanuts, soy, nuts, fish.

There are different types of psoriases. A good place to

read a general overview of them is:

I also have a negative RF. Does your rash itch? Don't

apogise for any long posts! Long posts are very acceptable

here. How are your fingernails? I hope you get good news

tomorrow.
