Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 I can't say I've ever heard of this in connection with IgAN. What's E45 cream? If it's anything like 1% hydrocortisone cream, I've always had good success with that for just about any kind of rash. The 1% is prescription only here, while the non-prescription .5% concentration isn't really strong enough when I've had eczema. At one time, I was prone to having fungal infections combined with eczema on my feet, and sometimes a bit on my hands. My nephrologist prescribes a special compount of menthol & camphor in a hydrocortisone based cream for the itching of renal failure. It feels great. Pierre Back on topic? > Hi All > > Question?

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 , Purple rash is one of the common symptoms of HSP. Although I have been diagnosed with HSP along with my IgAN, I have never had the purple rash, so I can't say for sure if your experience is typical of the way a rash presents with HSP. Maybe something to have checked out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Sorry,the last message was to say less thinning of the skin.Me and my 2 finger typing *sigh*. I make both hydrocotisone and betamethisone for the pharmacies and I have seen the effects of beta versus hydro. Beta is gentle .

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 I get the purple rash on my feet and ankles. Sometimes my scalp too. And occasionally on my elbows. I've never gotten them on my fingers but it wouldn't surprise me if I did, because fingers are " extremeties " like my feet. ----Original Message Follows---- From: W4JC@...

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 HSP? Sally. Back on topic? Hi All Question? As mentioned below, I went to the hairdressers today, and my hairdresser commented on the dark purple rash that was on my scalp, now I have had this prior to IGAN, but interestingly I am now getting scaley purple rashes in between my fingers. If I did not know better I would say it looked like ringworm or scabies perhaps, doesnt itch, and is nowhere else on me. I have been putting E45 cream on my hands, to no avail. Comments welcome, as this is a new thing to happen to me. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
