Guest guest Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Doreen and group; Thanks so much. I even forget that the doctor need to scrape the area affected. I got my foot scraped one time and it turned out I had a very bad foot fungus. Now I am so afraid for my feet to stand in anything wet. It was caused from me slipping on my wet tennis shoes and running out side during rainy season. Oh yes that was a while back. Me running somewhere. And our town having a rainy season. ( we presently are in a drought now). And you are so right Contact- touched something, derma- skin, itis- infection, contact dermatitis this is a break down of the word. hugs clora ********************************************** From: dgd301@... <dgd301@...> Subject: Re: [ ] Re: burning itchy skin Date: Tuesday, November 18, 2008, 1:26 PM In a message dated 11/18/2008 11:05:14 A.M.

Contact dermatitis is nothing more than an inflammation of the skin that happened as a result of something you came in contact with. Nothing specific - that's it. And they usually treat it with a cortisone cream as cortisone is a cure all for most anything. Have you considered a dermatologist? They could possibly scrape the area and send it off for testing so they will know exactly what you're dealing with since the other doctor apparently has no idea what it is or why you have it.........Doreen She actually did scrape it and test it It wasn't a fungus, is probably why she gave me the generic diagnosis (which I was aware of) It's not a problem now, I'm getting the itching, but not the bumps I don't think it's skin anymore -- it seems like nerves dd ************ **Get the Moviefone Toolbar.
