stinging itchy patches today

[Guest guest]

Today keep getting big stinging itchy patches for a minute or more in

various parts of my legs. Really annoying to say the least. Kind of

travels to different spots. Bigger area than the usual stings I get

often. Guess will try putting lotion on to see if that helps.

I get things like that. The doc told me it was eczema. I use Eucerin or

Neutrogena. Feels sticky for a little while but when I take off my pants it

doesn't look like a blizzard.

I had strange little bumps on several parts of my body back in the

late 70's and the dermatologist I saw wrote a script for something

and also told me at that time, she would recommend Tone soap as the

best to use. Well, the patches on my hands -- fingers and palms,

even around my finger nails, pretty much stopped and I no longer get

it there --- that was eczema. Now since sometime in the 1990's, I

have had a very rare form of pustular psorris, mainly on the sole of

my right foot. The dermatolgoist tried everything that he could

think of until finally there was only one choice left and that was

injections. But, it was left up to me if I wanted the injections!

Well, it was pretty nasty and it was difficult to wear hose, etc. for

work, so I said yes. Mind you, this was an evening appointment, the

waiting room and some of the other exam rooms were full of younger

children, so the nurse was standing between the doctor and I, I was

squeezing her left hand with my right hand and bitting my left finger

as the nurse spray a numbing agent on my right foot while the doctor

injected my foot 17 times. As with another of my weird treatments, I

could choice when to stop the injections (or maybe the doctor decided

enough was a enough!). Anyway, they taped my foot up very tightly

and I went home. At work the next day, I was hobbling around at

work, one of the docs in the department I worked in, wanted to know

what was wrong and I was really too embarrassed to tell them.

Now, my husband has had a patch of eczema on his left leg and his

doctor either gave him samples to start with or wrote the name of an

over-the-counter treat that cleared his red patch up --- the product

is called CeraVe Daily Skin Care Plan, one product is to be used to

clean the area and the other is a moisturizing cream. DH said each

product which is larger than most such products -- but the do cost

between $12 and $15 dollars each.

>Never would have thought about it being eczmea. I put Eurcerin creme

on all over my legs and that seemed to help. Don't have bumpy skin,

flaky areas or anything like that though. Will pay more attention if

I get those stingy patches again.
