Please be more specific. Is it like bloating or zit-like or what?
You won't technically know of any allergies until you are tested for them.

Claritan, take it my young one. MAY THE FORCE B WITH YOU!
Reply:Benadryl caplets work best for me. the ragweed season is just starting to kick in where i live.
Reply:go buy over the counter Allergy relief medicine and take two the first time and one EVERYDAY after that. You will be fine in couple of days. If you miss even one day the process will start over.
Visine allergy helps in the beginning too.
Reply:Go to your doctor and ask for patonol it works great for eye allergies.. In the mean while put some ice in a cold rag and put it over your eyes it will make you eyes feel so much better.
Reply:My son gets the same thing and Benadryl helps him so much.

My Tattoo? When my allergies get to me, my tattoo raises up from my skin? Why is that?
Has anyone heard this...When my Sinus Allgeries get bad, my tattoo on my lower back (The outline only) raises up like it swells up. Its been almost a year since I got the tattoo but no one can answer me on why it does this. Anyone have any ideas? It gets ichy and raised up. The people who have tattoo around me have never experienced this. Thank you for your answers in advance!
My Tattoo? When my allergies get to me, my tattoo raises up from my skin? Why is that?
Get an anti itch cream when this happens.. It will not affect the tattoo but it'll relieve the swelling.
When your allergies get to you, you're more vulnerable to "rare" stuff in your body, in this case, ink.
It's possible that you're allergic to it, or it might happen because tattooed skin is weaker/more vulnerable than non tattooed skin so when temperatures are really cold, your skin gets itchy and therefore, swollen or "raised" .. especially if you scratch it.
Or it could be your blood pressure ... like when you get goosebumps..
Most people are allergic to color ink like red and yellow, so it might be that.
Reply:I'm not a doctor, and don't have any tattoos, but it sounds like an allergic reaction to me. What I'd suggest is the next time you have a sinus allergy attack, go see your doctor and have him/her examine the tattoo.
Reply:This happened to me when I had a tattoo done on my ankle. I was told later by a different tattoo artist that I probably had an allergic reaction to the red ink. It stayed raised up and itchy on and off for two years. I tried all kinds of things, but nothing helped...just time! When it was finally healed, I went and had it touched up with a different color ink. The tattoo artist that I go to now said that if people do have a reaction to ink, it's normally red ink, so I don't have any tattoos done with red anymore! Good luck!
Reply:I mostly agree with the other answer's.. I think you are some,how allergic to the ink!! Don't ignore complacations''could set in as you get older...See a Dr...Thats''my advice.... Respectfully {{{icprincess}}}}

Anyone knows a natural remedy for skin allergy?
every week or two my skin itches, I take medecine, but gets me too drowsy.
Anyone knows a natural remedy for skin allergy?
Try Oatmeal! I know it sounds silly.
Take about 2 cups of Quick Oats (any brand) and mix enough warm water to make it into a paste. You can mix more if you need more. Then just massage it into the problem areas. After you've massaged it thoroughly...then rinse...you should notice a difference almost immediately.
Reply:Avoiding the thing that causes the allergy. That's as natural as it gets.
Reply:Yes, cut the stress.
Reply:my grandmother used to rub me down with white wine vinegar, it worked for me and still does ......... nice one jenepher402 oatmeal is a good one also...
Reply:Go to your Health Food outlet or chemist and ask for Graphite tablets. They are very small and you get a tube full of hundreds cheaply........they work!
Reply:any thing under the sun can cause allergy including the sun! so avoid the allergent.
Reply:I heard witchhazel is extremely good for people with highly sensitive skin, and that want to go NATURAL. For itchy skin, try Aloe Vera for the NATURAL aspect. Also, switch to GLYCERIN based soaps, this is also a natural alternative.
I would FIRST suggest an OATMEAL bath (first link) to get rid of the initial allergy, then begin to use the witchhazel, and aloe vera and glycerin soap products (second link).
Good Luck and Prosper...;*!*;...
Reply:dont take drowsy medicines. buy skin therapy cream like jergens,vaseline. put it after your shower everytime. take oat meal baths. you get the packets at walgreens or walmart or cvs pharmacy. apply it to your body and take a shower or else fill the tub with warm water and put the oat packet in it and you will be relieved.
may be this happens to you for some kind of food you take in what causes allergy and you are not aware of/
go for an allergy test and problems will be solved.

Just brought my corgi from Co to De now he's haveing alot of skin problems like dandruff and itching help?
He's been itching ALOT he was biting himself to the point where he was bleeding, we took him to the vet and they said he had flea allergies so we got some frontline and meds and went home. it went away for 2 months (the same 2 months we ewre back home in Co) as soon as we got home he started again so off to the vet we went again she thought it was the same thing only...she couldn't find a flea on him anywhere, so she gave him some meds said it was just skin allergies and sent him home...he's still scratching? is there any products out there that would help with his scratching and dandruff issues? (tried the itching shampoo and sprays)
Just brought my corgi from Co to De now he's haveing alot of skin problems like dandruff and itching help?
Do you change his food when you move? If you don't bring food from Colorado, the same brand here may be from a different supplier, and could have just one ingredient that he is allergic to. While you're in DE, I'd recommend going to Concord Pets.. there's one in New Castle County, one in Dover, One in Milford, and one in Rehoboth. They will go over your choice of food with you, and recommend a better, more holistic brand that may help the problems. Good luck, and if you go to the Dover one, tell Bobby, the manager, that Jayna sent you! (I go there a lot, it's where I bought my food, Innova, before I switched to raw)
Reply:The vet can probally help, I think you should go to the vet.
Reply:Try bathing him every three to four days in Oatmeat shampoo. Let him sit in it for 5-10 minutes and rinse well. Do not use any perfumes on him or anything else. this should help.
Reply:My Westie has had skin probs for years and has often had to go on steriods which though they work, isn't good for them long term. We recently changed vets and she said to try him on Piriton allergy tablets from the chemist. We gave him 2 a day until his skin improved, now he has one at night. He's so much better. I hope this works for you.
Reply:my 5 yr old cardi gets seasonal skin allergies, does the same thing, and ends up on antibiotics, cuz he rips himself raw. not a pretty site. i've argued with the vet for years about the fleas, you r familiar with the corgi coats, but mine doesn't have fleas. i think it's a grass allergy, or possibly a fertilizer allergy- either way twice a year he does this, and we do the same thing as has been mentioned - oatmeal baths on the affected areas, septiderm skin products, and if needed antibiotics till it's over. i have a 9mo old who does not have this problem, and we haven't had a problem with dandruff. i also, if i haven't been successfull with my vet, will call the breeder up, they seem to know everything! good luck.

Can gabapentin drugs cause a serious skin allergy?
i was taking gabapentin for gbs and my skin has broke out in a serious rash
Can gabapentin drugs cause a serious skin allergy?
It isnt one of the listed side effects, see link for details
Reply:Gabapentin's most common side effects in adult patients include dizziness, drowsiness, and peripheral edema (swelling of extremities). Children 3–12 years of age were also observed to be susceptible to mild-to-moderate mood swings, hostility, concentration problems, and hyperactivity. An increase in formation of adenocarcinomas was observed in rats during preclinical trials, however the clinical significance of these results remains undetermined.
Reply:the reason for taken gabapentin could be the cause some illnesses have skin related problems
Reply:you say that you were taking it,if you are not taking it n ow perhaps the rash is being caused by something else, try eliminating things that you think might cause it.New soap or washing powder,being in contact with any animal's, worn a new top etc
Reply:you could be allergic to the drug. is this the first time you've taken it? there is a test called the scratch test wherein the doc specifically an allergologist doctor will scratch several things on the skin and it will determine food, medication and all allergies. it really helps for allergic persons. then he will give a maintainance medication that to take in case any allergic reaction will arise. :-) allergies could be dangerous but they are very manageable once you know what you are allergic too. :-) God bless you. you should get this test. it's usually available on with an allergologist doctor and in some hospitals too.

Is jewellery made of rhodium likely to cause skin allegy?
my friend has skin allergies that react to fake jewellery so i always have got her silver before.i have found a really nice chain which is made of rhodium. i know rhodium is not a cheap metal but do you know if it will cause alergy like fake jewellery?
thanks:)
Is jewellery made of rhodium likely to cause skin allegy?
Most people are allergic to the nickel content in jewelry.
Rhodium is a platinum group metal, not nickel, it should be fine.
Yellow gold (14k or higher), copper, titanium, surgical steel, sterling silver and fine silver should all be OK for her to wear.
She should *avoid* white gold, German silver and base-metal jewelry.

Thanks a lot in advance for any suggestions

How to heal the skin allergy?
Hi
Its not easy to find the root cause but this sensitivity is are warning sing and it like yr body's defense and shout pls do something.
Skin is yr 3rd kidney and if kidneys are not removing toxins from yr body they start coming out through the skin.
I would suggest to change yr diet: eliminate are cut down all junk food - sugar, fast food, processed food, sodas, magarine/butter, ect.
Eat more fresh fruits and vegetable and drink plenty of water and the best to drink is alkaline water - you need to buy a water alklizer. Because tap water is treated with floride and chlorine which are toxic waste and none should be consuming it.
Bottled water is not a solution either as they contain dangerous plastic.
also avoid conventional personal care product as they contain dangerous chemical i.e engine degreasers and can be allergic.
Switch to natural one and check ingredients be4 you buy avoid ones that got name that you cant pronounce.
for good ones check beyondhealth.com or google for natural personal care products

My staffy has a skin allergy and I would like some advise?
My staff has got a skin alergy were she is itching her ears all the time which makes her ears bleed n she is chomping on paws all the time, I have tried using various foods and tablets from the vets but nothing seems to work, she has had blood tests from the vets but came back negative. Any advise would be helpful
My staffy has a skin allergy and I would like some advise?
Ask your vet for the recommended dose of Benedryl for the weight of your dog. My dog weighs over 100 lbs and takes 100mg of Benedryl 3 times a day to help control his skin allergies. Your vet should be able to tell you how much to give for the weight of your dog. Skin allergies in dogs is hard to fight. We have tried diet changes also. Ask your vet about pet food for allergies, but I warn you it is expensive. Good luck

My dog has really dry skin. What can i do to help him? He has allergies to beef.?
take it to a vet
My dog has really dry skin. What can i do to help him? He has allergies to beef.?
Ask a doctor for some medication for him and also ask the doctor about what your dog is allergic to.
Reply:for dry skin on dogs you can get some moisterizer from your local vets or pet superstore there is also a shampoo you can buy which helps hydrate the skin. and do not give him beef, get him foods like chicken,lamb,pork,rabbit ect not beef.
Reply:i am going through the same thing with my yorkie! still trying to figure out what hes allergic to though! anyway my vet told me to bath him in oatmeal shampoo %26amp; conditioner! also you can get suppliments from your vet for his coat and skin. its called allederm.hope that helps!
Reply:use dog lotion lol
Reply:Consider supplementing his diet with omega fatty acids and vitamin E. These supplements are easy enough to find at any local pharmacy or at your vet and are fairly inexpensive. Fatty acids and vitamin E will support overall skin and coat health. Additionally, they are often VERY beneficial for allergy dogs as they have anti-inflammatory properties that reduce the impact of histamines and help heal irritated skin. My allergy dog has environmental allergies and while antihistamines help keep the eye boogers and red skin at bay it is the vitamin E with omega fatty acid supplements that REALLY make a difference in his itching.
Reply:What I would do would be to just get a lotion for his skin. Or the other best thing to do would be to get this shampoo with moisturizer in it. Good Luck!!!!!
Reply:If he has allergies to beef, chances are he has allergies to other foods as well, because beef is rarely a single allergy. Consider moving to a high quaility dog foog like California Gold or canidae, and look at the ingredients. You will want one with no beef byproducts, so try chicken and rice, or lamb and rice, or there is even salmon dog foods for dogs with food allergies.
The only way to cure his itching is to take the food that is causing the allergy out of his diet period.
Oh and the vet may just reccomend whatthey have on hand, not neccessarily what's best for the dog.
Reply:An oatmeal shampoo helps a lot, I've used that ofter. And with a beef allergy that pretty much eliminates any dog foods you buy at a store. Look into Science Diet at your vet or Flint River Ranch dog food. The Flint River Ranch is some of the best dog, i know a lot of trainers that use it, and boarding kennels that use it in case a dog is allergic to something. Check these out for more info on the foods:

Reply:You can put egg in his food. It helps their skin and coat. A lot of dogs get dry skin and a nasty coat because they are bathed too often. A dog should be getting a bath no more than every 2 weeks. Any more than that and the natural oils in your dog's coat could get washed out. And in some cases, it is the shampoo that you are using on your dog. A good shampoo is Oatmeal Puppy, or your last choice would be Johnson's Baby Shampoo. Good luck! ♥
Reply:put olive oil on his food, that is what our breeder told us to do.
Reply:Try a SINGLE protein based food, and ONE carb, such as:
Fish and Potato
Fish and Sweet Potato
Kangaroo and Oat
Other single proteins: Rabbit, venison, Duck, Lamb
I recommend the fish and potato.
I recommend these foods (Ones I have fed, also)
-Natural Balance (Duck %26amp; Potato, Fish %26amp; Sweet potato)
-Wellness (White fish and sweet potato)
-California Natural (Herring/salmon %26amp; sweet potato)
Add an oil supplement to his diet, such as Salmon Oil, Flax seed oil, or cod liver oil.
You may add a raw egg to his diet, preferably no more than twice a week.
Try giving a Vitamin E supplement, or even something like "Missing Link" (Found at Pet Stores)
Reply:What sort of food is he eating?
Do NOT feed grocery-store brands, period.
Don't feed Science Diet or Prescription Diet, even if your vet wants to sell it to you, unless you can verify that there are no allergenic grains in it, and are primarily meat. There are a few formulations that may be OK, but be very picky about the ingredient list. Potatoes instead of grain is OK. Going with a "different" protein source may be OK too, like duck, for example - as long as the "filler proteins" (grain glutens) are not present.
Although your dog's been deemed allergic to beef, don't rule out grain allergies. Dogs' digestive tracts aren't built to handle silage - they're made for digesting meat. Rice is usually non-allergenic but most other grains can trigger food allergy in dogs.
Avoid all kibble or canned that have wheat, corn, barley and other grains, or other fillers like soy mill run - only feed dog foods that have rice, potato, tapioca and other low-allergen carbohydrate sources. Only feed foods that have quality meat ingredients. Be very skeptical of high-protein foods that have any sort of grain gluten as one of the first 8 ingredients - it artificially increases the "crude protein" content, making it seem like it has lots of meat when it doesn't. Remember the China dog-food scandal? That was "rice gluten" tainted with melamine to make it seem like an even higher protein content. Brewers rice is waste product from the brewing industry - don't be fooled into thinking that's a good ingredient.
Feed foods with high Omega-3 and Omega-6 content, in balance. This will be best for healing the skin and coat after the allergens are flushed out of his system. Avoid fat sources that are not identified - they could include beef fat, lard, corn oil, or other fats that might trigger your dog's allergy. Chicken fat, fish oils and flaxseed oil are good.
Look for chicken and lamb as the primary ingredients, if you don't go with an exotic single-meat source like duck or venison. Avoid any animal by-products incredients, like chicken by-product meal. Meat meal is OK, like Lamb meal or chicken meal - it's meat with the moisture already removed. The bad thing is the "by-product" tag - it indicates they're using non-meat wastage like beaks, intestines, lungs, etc. and if they're using wastage they also could be using "condemned" meats and other ingredients of questionable quality.
Also be mindful of preservatives. Tocopherols is generally OK, but definitely avoid BHA/BHT and other chemical preservatives.
Alternatively, switch to a raw foods diet. More expensive and time-consuming, but better for the dog.
Keep the "bad ingredient list" in mind when buying treats, too.
My dog has really dry skin. What can i do to help him? He has allergies to beef.?
Ask a doctor for some medication for him and also ask the doctor about what your dog is allergic to.
Reply:for dry skin on dogs you can get some moisterizer from your local vets or pet superstore there is also a shampoo you can buy which helps hydrate the skin. and do not give him beef, get him foods like chicken,lamb,pork,rabbit ect not beef.
Reply:i am going through the same thing with my yorkie! still trying to figure out what hes allergic to though! anyway my vet told me to bath him in oatmeal shampoo %26amp; conditioner! also you can get suppliments from your vet for his coat and skin. its called allederm.hope that helps!
Reply:use dog lotion lol
Reply:Consider supplementing his diet with omega fatty acids and vitamin E. These supplements are easy enough to find at any local pharmacy or at your vet and are fairly inexpensive. Fatty acids and vitamin E will support overall skin and coat health. Additionally, they are often VERY beneficial for allergy dogs as they have anti-inflammatory properties that reduce the impact of histamines and help heal irritated skin. My allergy dog has environmental allergies and while antihistamines help keep the eye boogers and red skin at bay it is the vitamin E with omega fatty acid supplements that REALLY make a difference in his itching.
Reply:What I would do would be to just get a lotion for his skin. Or the other best thing to do would be to get this shampoo with moisturizer in it. Good Luck!!!!!
Reply:If he has allergies to beef, chances are he has allergies to other foods as well, because beef is rarely a single allergy. Consider moving to a high quaility dog foog like California Gold or canidae, and look at the ingredients. You will want one with no beef byproducts, so try chicken and rice, or lamb and rice, or there is even salmon dog foods for dogs with food allergies.
The only way to cure his itching is to take the food that is causing the allergy out of his diet period.
Oh and the vet may just reccomend whatthey have on hand, not neccessarily what's best for the dog.
Reply:An oatmeal shampoo helps a lot, I've used that ofter. And with a beef allergy that pretty much eliminates any dog foods you buy at a store. Look into Science Diet at your vet or Flint River Ranch dog food. The Flint River Ranch is some of the best dog, i know a lot of trainers that use it, and boarding kennels that use it in case a dog is allergic to something. Check these out for more info on the foods:

Reply:You can put egg in his food. It helps their skin and coat. A lot of dogs get dry skin and a nasty coat because they are bathed too often. A dog should be getting a bath no more than every 2 weeks. Any more than that and the natural oils in your dog's coat could get washed out. And in some cases, it is the shampoo that you are using on your dog. A good shampoo is Oatmeal Puppy, or your last choice would be Johnson's Baby Shampoo. Good luck! ♥
Reply:put olive oil on his food, that is what our breeder told us to do.
Reply:Try a SINGLE protein based food, and ONE carb, such as:
Fish and Potato
Fish and Sweet Potato
Kangaroo and Oat
Other single proteins: Rabbit, venison, Duck, Lamb
I recommend the fish and potato.
I recommend these foods (Ones I have fed, also)
-Natural Balance (Duck %26amp; Potato, Fish %26amp; Sweet potato)
-Wellness (White fish and sweet potato)
-California Natural (Herring/salmon %26amp; sweet potato)
Add an oil supplement to his diet, such as Salmon Oil, Flax seed oil, or cod liver oil.
You may add a raw egg to his diet, preferably no more than twice a week.
Try giving a Vitamin E supplement, or even something like "Missing Link" (Found at Pet Stores)
Reply:What sort of food is he eating?
Do NOT feed grocery-store brands, period.
Don't feed Science Diet or Prescription Diet, even if your vet wants to sell it to you, unless you can verify that there are no allergenic grains in it, and are primarily meat. There are a few formulations that may be OK, but be very picky about the ingredient list. Potatoes instead of grain is OK. Going with a "different" protein source may be OK too, like duck, for example - as long as the "filler proteins" (grain glutens) are not present.
Although your dog's been deemed allergic to beef, don't rule out grain allergies. Dogs' digestive tracts aren't built to handle silage - they're made for digesting meat. Rice is usually non-allergenic but most other grains can trigger food allergy in dogs.
Avoid all kibble or canned that have wheat, corn, barley and other grains, or other fillers like soy mill run - only feed dog foods that have rice, potato, tapioca and other low-allergen carbohydrate sources. Only feed foods that have quality meat ingredients. Be very skeptical of high-protein foods that have any sort of grain gluten as one of the first 8 ingredients - it artificially increases the "crude protein" content, making it seem like it has lots of meat when it doesn't. Remember the China dog-food scandal? That was "rice gluten" tainted with melamine to make it seem like an even higher protein content. Brewers rice is waste product from the brewing industry - don't be fooled into thinking that's a good ingredient.
Feed foods with high Omega-3 and Omega-6 content, in balance. This will be best for healing the skin and coat after the allergens are flushed out of his system. Avoid fat sources that are not identified - they could include beef fat, lard, corn oil, or other fats that might trigger your dog's allergy. Chicken fat, fish oils and flaxseed oil are good.
Look for chicken and lamb as the primary ingredients, if you don't go with an exotic single-meat source like duck or venison. Avoid any animal by-products incredients, like chicken by-product meal. Meat meal is OK, like Lamb meal or chicken meal - it's meat with the moisture already removed.

I didn't treat my skin allergy early, now what do I do about scars?
My skin is alleric to Nickel. First my ears got infected from piercings twice when I was young. Then in high school, I got a bad rash from wearing a silver watch.
Two years ago, it got worse: I get rashes on my stomach from jean studs and belt buckles. But my skin feels fine if I use hydro-cortison cream, bandaids, and cover up the jean studs/belt buckle with polish.
Well, I'm lazy, and just when my rashes are about to heal, I stop covering the studs and wearing band-aids. So the rashes have never completely healed. And I'm just now realizing that I've been fighting this for TWO YEARS.
And needless to say, I have scars. I know I need to see a dermatologist, but I can't afford to right now.
I'm ready to take this seriously and finally heal these rashes. How do I reduce the appearance of these scars on my own? And what type of professional treatments are available?
I didn't treat my skin allergy early, now what do I do about scars?
I never knew that scubing with loofas or cleaning with acne solution would help a scar since that's what some folks earlier suggested. I would say to obviously continue to cover with the bandaids, and then cocoa butter, preferable shea butter is best to help clear up scars. They have to be pure though no watered down mess. They sell 100% pure african shea butter on amazon. com for 9.95. It's great.
Reply:petroleum jelly could help.before you go to bed put some on the scars and the next morning when you take a bath, scrub it with a loofa.do this regulary and before you knew it, your scars are all gone

I alway have skin allergy problem (itchy,red) with dust,chemical and dry weather. so what can i do to stop it?
when my skin touch wiht dust or some chemical and especially dry and cold weather,it will turn to be very dry,itchy,get red and crack.
i use lots of moiturelizer and also sometime use some drug to reduce the itchy and dry. but it only for a while,the problem still happen. so what can i do? or what medicine should take?
please answer. thank u.
I alway have skin allergy problem (itchy,red) with dust,chemical and dry weather. so what can i do to stop it?
When it gets red, dry and itcy, you can use hydrocortisone cream. You can get it OTC. Do not use the cream for more than 2 weeks. Take benadryl to stop the itchiness so that you wont scratch and worsen it. Keep it mosturized all the all time. I like Aveeno, it is a soy-base moisturizer. Protect your skin from chemicals that irritate your skin by weraing gloves. If this doesnt help, I would suggest you get help from a doctor. It might be not be just skin allergy.
Reply:When using chemical, wear rubber gloves. Also, take an allergy medication. Benedryl usually works very well, and it comes in the form of capsules AND creams.
Reply:I have something called exema (not the right spelling) I always have the dryest skin so just go to your doctor and get a prescription cream that should help -Brooke

How much does it cost for skin investigations on a dog?
My staffie suffers from skin allergies and is going back to the vet tomorrow to discuss what to do next as the antibiotics he was given last time didn't really have any effect.
The vet suggested that he carry out skin ivestigations to find out exactly what it is he's allergic to. Does anyone know how much this is likely to cost?

Reply:A simple skin scrape test should not be much under $50
How ever allergiy testing can be very expensive. My cousin spent over $5000 on hos dog and they never could find out anything that was really wrong. They even had the dog eating a kangaroo meat diet and it did not help.
Staffies are known to have skin issues and allergy issues.
It could be anything from his food to the stuff you clean with in the house.
One of my clients had problems with some liquid stuff that went in to the vacuum cleaner that made the dog break out.
Good luck I hope you find something easy to fix.
Reply:I think the cost varies from vet to vet,make sure you shop around
before you tell the vet to carry out any tests
Reply:If you love your dog as much as you say you do. Then the cost should not matter too you as long as you dog it ok

They would probably cost quite a bit. Depending on where you're from ...
Reply:Surley your pet insurance should cover that!
Reply:My westie suffers from a skin allergy too, and my vet has done all tests and has now found out that he has an allergy to dustmites but I can not remember how much it was, sorry . At the moment he is having injections and there is an 80% of them working (they dont do anything like shorten there lives) and 1 worked it out that they will cost around £400 to £500 a year for the rest of his life. If you would like anymore info just email me. Hope this helps.
Reply:Allergy tests are about $300. There are different types of tests, one being a "Top 40" allergens, and the other (don't know cost, but it's got to be very high!!!) is a more through test that checks for about 100+ allergens. We did the 40+ and found out that, unfortunately, my dog is a little bit allergic to everything! Yikes!
If your allergy tests show that the dog is allergic to a specific thing (or two), then you get a batch of serum to take home, and you inject your dog every so often with the serum to build up it's tolerance to the allergen. Those vials are about $100, and that cost gets less and less over time. Since that wasn't an option for my dog, we're trying Atopica, which is about $110/month (!).
Up till the point of solving the allergy mystery, plan on about $40 for an anti-inflammatory injection to ease the pup's pain, and about $40/bottle for oral anti-inflammatory.
Reply:I had my Wolfhound allergy tested earlier this year. This included blood tests and skin scrapes and cost around £400.
Reply:Seeing that he is insured then this should cover all costs up to the maximum limit per condition depending on which level you opted for. Ask your vet if he will directly claim from your insurance company. If they are not prepared to do that then could you ask for a flexible payment plan untill you get the money from the insurance
Reply:We had that done for our Alaskan Malamute 3 weeks ago %26amp; it was £400 for us but it saved our dog from suffering %26amp; us weeks or months of endless worry trying to change his diet around to find out what it was. It only took 2 weeks for the results.
Good Luck!!!

Apparently this is common in staffies in particulary white coloured dogs , mine even turns pink when he eats something he shouldnt !! There is a range of food on the market called 'Hills' diet and they produce a dry dog food for dogs with a sensitve skin disorder and it actually worked for him ! its pretty expensive but 'Pets at Home' do a similar version for half the price of the 'Hills' and its much the same !

My dog has a skin allergy problem, a bad one. shes a english bull terrier?
What kind of food is she on? Have you thoroughly looked at the ingredients list. Allergy tests don't always catch everything your dog is allergic to, so there could still be something in her food she's having a problem with. I ended up having to switch mine to Venison and Rice b/c she's allergic to all poultry and beef along with wheat and corn, egg, soy, and who knows what else. She's on Wellness Simple Solutions and besides vitamins and minerals, the only other things are the meat source and the carb source. Maybe take another look at what you're feeding her. Also a lot of dogs are allergic to Tide laundry detergent, so make sure you aren't using that as well. Check all the treats and snacks that you give her to make sure they are very minimal in their ingredients as well. Mine gets Old Mother Hubbard Yogurt, Apple, Banana biscuits and she loves them. Hope some of this helps you.

Reply:I have english bull dogs.. I have been pretty lucky with my kids not having skin allergies.. However, in the summertime they chew their feet. I would ask your vet for an oatmeal shampoo or something like chlorohexiderm or Ketochlor shampoo. Also ask him for "atarax" in place of the benadryl. Make sure you are feeding a food for sensitive skin , "science diet sensitive skin" or science diet prescription Z/D z/d is only available from your vet. Also make sure if you are using a flea and tick topical preventative to only use a soap free shampoo such as "Hylyt" this is available at your vet. Otherwise the shampoo will strip the topical meds off and not protect your pet from fleas and ticks.
Hope he gets to feeling better soon

Dog with skin problems?
Hello, my foster dog came to me a few weeks ago %26amp; he has been itching up a storm. He was dx with dermititis from his previous vet %26amp; prescribed anti-biotics %26amp; another med I believe to be a steriod (label was wrecked when I got it). I do not believe in using medicines (drugs) unless it is absolutely necessary. Scooby was on a poor diet for most of his life, he is 6, but for the last month or so he has been on Canidae. I give him fresh herbs, supplements, Omega 3's, garlic, DMG, Organic apple cider vinegar, home prepared food, yogurt, cottage cheese, 2 homeopathic pearls, %26amp; I use flower essenses for skin %26amp; allergies. I don't know if there is anything else I may have missed. He is on Frontline (applied before he arrived), %26amp; he came in itching so it is not something just here. It could be his horrible diet of 6 years of Kibbles %26amp; Bits. thank you for reading %26amp; any suggestions.
Dog with skin problems?
yuck kibbles and bits is one of the worst if you even would want to call it food....im not familiar with canidae food, cause its unavailable in my area. just make sure there is a meat meal as the first ingredient, i recomend duck and oatmeal for skin problems. things to avoid are byproducts, soy, wheat, corn, dairy, beef, dies, bha, bht, and ethoxyquin. food that has naturally occuring digestive enzymes will help your dogs stomach out, help him absorb nutrition more, and will increase immunity. if you are feeding supplaments, your dog food is not giving everything. there should be no need for supplaments. id probably say look into a different meat thats in the food cause chicken and beef and sometimes lamb causes allergies. and sheese and dairy you are feeding him isnt helping much either. try out eagle pack holistic select duck and oatmeal formula or the anchovy formula too. the results will take 2 weeks to a month to see...and then the overall transfomation will occur within 6 months.
**edit** you dont seem like the person to do this but NO TABLE SCRAPS and human food, they can not digest it and it just causes more problems.
Reply:I don't know if Canidae makes one or not, but I would put him on a grain free diet. Lots of dogs clear up without grains in their diets. Other than that, everything you are giving sounds good, I would also add MSM.
Reply:I feed eaglepack to my dogs an innova Evo. www.eaglepack.com
for allergies, I would give him a 1/2 to whole tablet of chlortrimeton 2 x daily and cut out all the other stuff, except maybe kelp.
Kelp Products of Florida is what I use, has all the trace minerals, etc. grows new hair, increases pigmentation healthier dogs truly. Also maybe some enzymes ~ nuzymes...
Reply:you need to put the meds on it.they will dig there self to death.

Dog with skin problems?
yuck kibbles and bits is one of the worst if you even would want to call it food....im not familiar with canidae food, cause its unavailable in my area. just make sure there is a meat meal as the first ingredient, i recomend duck and oatmeal for skin problems. things to avoid are byproducts, soy, wheat, corn, dairy, beef, dies, bha, bht, and ethoxyquin. food that has naturally occuring digestive enzymes will help your dogs stomach out, help him absorb nutrition more, and will increase immunity. if you are feeding supplaments, your dog food is not giving everything. there should be no need for supplaments. id probably say look into a different meat thats in the food cause chicken and beef and sometimes lamb causes allergies. and sheese and dairy you are feeding him isnt helping much either. try out eagle pack holistic select duck and oatmeal formula or the anchovy formula too. the results will take 2 weeks to a month to see...and then the overall transfomation will occur within 6 months.
**edit** you dont seem like the person to do this but NO TABLE SCRAPS and human food, they can not digest it and it just causes more problems.
Reply:I don't know if Canidae makes one or not, but I would put him on a grain free diet. Lots of dogs clear up without grains in their diets. Other than that, everything you are giving sounds good, I would also add MSM.
Reply:I feed eaglepack to my dogs an innova Evo. www.eaglepack.com
for allergies, I would give him a 1/2 to whole tablet of chlortrimeton 2 x daily and cut out all the other stuff, except maybe kelp.
Kelp Products of Florida is what I use, has all the trace minerals, etc. grows new hair, increases pigmentation healthier dogs truly. Also maybe some enzymes ~ nuzymes...
Reply:you need to put the meds on it.they will dig there self to death.

Dog with skin issues?
Hello, my foster dog came to me a few weeks ago %26amp; he has been itching up a storm. He was dx with dermititis from his previous vet %26amp; prescribed anti-biotics %26amp; another med I believe to be a steriod (label was wrecked when I got it). I do not believe in using medicines (drugs) unless it is absolutely necessary. Scooby was on a poor diet for most of his life, he is 6, but for the last month or so he has been on Canidae. I give him fresh herbs, supplements, Omega 3's, garlic, DMG, Organic apple cider vinegar, home prepared food, yogurt, cottage cheese, 2 homeopathic pearls, %26amp; I use flower essenses for skin %26amp; allergies. I don't know if there is anything else I may have missed. He is on Frontline (applied before he arrived), %26amp; he came in itching so it is not something just here. It could be his horrile diet of 6 years of Kibbles %26amp; Bits. thank you for reading %26amp; any suggestions.

Sounds like Scooby might have allergies - talk to a vet!
I also believe you might get a WHOLE lot more responses and better advice if you asked your question under the Dogs section of Pets.

What to do about a dog with bad allergies?
My dog has really bad skin allergies that the vet doesn't seem to be able to solve. It comes and goes and lasts for about a month. During that month she gets red spots and splothcy areas all on her underside. She will begin licking and scratching under her arms until they are raw and bleeding. Her whole body ends up in one massive scab and she still has the rash like symptoms. Right now I have her wear an ecollar almost 24/7, give her two doses of Benadryl a day, wash her regulary, and apply hydrocortisone 2-3x a day. But she is still itch, uncomfortable, and obviously becoming depressed. Any new ideas out there? I'm getting desperate!
What to do about a dog with bad allergies?
Have you tried changing her diet? Sometimes you need to try several different foods before you find one that agrees with your dog. Or, in the case of one severely allergic dog I owned, he couldn't eat kibble at all and I had to make his food myself (fish, potatoes and veggies).
Reply:Try Bag Balm on the sores - It's a medicated salve originally developed for the sores on cow utters. It won't hurt the dog if she licks it and will ease the itch and help to heal the sores. It's available at Pet Stores or Feed Stores.
Also, if you haven't already, change to a perfume / dye free laundry detergent and fabric softener - It made the world of difference in my lab's life!
Reply:You may be bathing her way too much. We had a German Shepperd that had a similar problem. The vet said that the irritation was caused by over bathing her and stripping her coat of protective oils...Don't know for sure, but it's an idea.
Reply:Talk with your vet. There are medications and injections that can help with severe allergies, but most involve considerable expense with the exception of the Benadryl you are already using.
Has she always had such severe allergies? If not, try to pinpoint what she may have been exposed to (new plantings in your yard, a new pet shampoo, new laundry detergent) around the time you started to see the initial reaction. Repeated exposure to allergens can cause worsening symptoms.
Reply:Awwwww why don't you feed her a better quality food.. and get a new vet.
Reply:Try switching her food to an allergy free type if you haven't already. I had a Chow that had bad skin allergies and they put him on cortisone injections.
Also, ask your vet about a topical cream called Diprolene, generically called Betamethasone. It is perscription strength cortisone. It works wonders!

Reply:My dog also has bad allergies. She scratches like a maniac. I would try different medicines. My vet has my dog on hydroxyzine and when her allergies get really horrible, she'll give her a short-term dose of steroids. If your vet hasn't suggested a change in medicine or the use of steroids, maybe you should try another vet. Those are very common solutions. As well, I do give my dog benedryl when her allergies aren't too bad since it's cheaper, but always have to switch over the hydroxyzine when it's horrible.
Have you tried changing foods? Like giving her a food that doesn't have chicken in it and instead has fish? A few good resources:

Reply:I have a daschound with similar troubles, he's allergic to most kinds of grass, pollen, and many other outdoor allergies.
I give him oatmeal baths with this oatmeal shampoo I buy at PetSmart. He loves it, and it's very soothing to his skin. There are certain oils you can buy, such as baby oil, to rub on his belly, too. Your vet should also be able to give you something to rub on his rash, also maybe try rubbing some calimine lotion on the parts where he itches.

Skin patch testing question.?
Wondering if anyone has had patch testing for skin allergies at the dermatologist and can answer a question for me?
I went on Monday and got the patches on and forgot to tell them about the fact that I was prescribed Flonase 3 days earlier by the allergist. In fact, I forgot all about even being on the Flonase since I had just started it.
Does anyone know if this will affect the results of the test? I go back Friday to get the 2nd round of results read. The patches have been off since Wednesday after I got my first (negative) reading.
I KNOW I am allergic to things because I have reactions. I just don't want to go through all of this trouble to have these tests come back negative because of a drug interaction. (By the way...I am pretty sure that the test they used is called True Test if that makes any difference).
Anyone?
Thanks and sorry for the long question.
Skin patch testing question.?
Relax the Flonase has a local effect and will not affect the patch tests applied to your back or arms.
The True Test checks for allergies to the 23 most common allergens. There is a possibility that you may be allergic to one of dozens of other allergens. So a negative test does not mean that you are wrong about being allergic-- just that they haven't found what you are allergic to.

Hair coloring for sensitive skin?
I have sensitive skin and skin allergies. But, I really need to put some color in my hair, semi-permanent would be fine. Does anyone have any recommendations for a gentle hair coloring product, or one that they had good luck with as far as no skin reactions? Thanks.
Hair coloring for sensitive skin?
I've always had good luck with Clairol and Loreal.
But do a skin test with it before you do it, just in case. You should make sure you'll be ok before you cover your head with it.
Also, when coloring, keep an old towel handy and wipe away any color that gets on your skin (ears, neck, face, etc)
Definitely do the skin test first though to keep yourself ok!

Reply:loreal natural match is a permaneant haircolor with no ammonia and its made with some natural ingredients, i haven`t tried it yet but its supposed to be pretty gentle, if your still concerned why don`t you try consulting a trusted hairdresser about it. good luck!
Reply:Well apart from something using a cream peroxide as opposed to liqued peroxide, I'm not sure.
One thing I would strongly advise though is that you try a little patch test on the inside of your wrist first and leave the product on for the length of time it says to on the box and wait for 24 hours at least to see how you are effected.
You could also put vaseline around your hairline on your skin... not your hair to help protect that.
Are you really sure you must colour your hair? Be careful honey.
Reply:I use Redken Shades EQ, which is semi-permanent hair color. I have very sensitive skin , and have to be really careful with make up and moisterizers, but Shades has never bothered me.
It is a professional product, so you can't buy it in stores. What I did was to have it done in a salon one time to see what color to get and how to apply it, then I ordered the stuff on ebay to do myself at home.

My dog is constantly scratching...I think it's allergies?
My poor 1 year old Bichon is constantly itching and scrathing! The poor thing can't even sleep. I've taken her to the vet numerous times.They can't seem to pin point anything. Their solution is to give me two weeks worth of anti hystimines and call it a day. It seems like evertime I go to them I spend $50 and get no answers. They tell me to go to a dermatologist. I can't afford this- it's $800 and up. I'm struggling as it is takeing her to the vet and the groomers all the time. Is there anyone who can help? Is there a way to tell if it's skin allergies or allergies to food? Are their different signs or symptoms? I recently adopted her and in the last month I've spent at least $300...I love her to death and want her to be peaceful and comforatable...but I just don't know what to do for her??
Any advise is greatly appreciated! But please- leave the rude and sacrastic comments out, I'm just trying to be a good mom :)
Oh and yes, I've had her checked for fleas she's all good there.

You can substitute chicken instead of ground beef. Just be sure to use antibiotic free meats.
It has worked wonders with my 4 dogs. My Pumpkin used to scratch herself bloody and my Shasta they wanted to give predisone to, but it made her have peeing accidents at night. Now, none of my dogs have itchy skin. They have thick beautiful coats. My vet was by yesterday and wrote down what I am giving them because she is always looking for homeopathic options for her patients.
Reply:Winter dry skin, mange, fleas?
Reply:What type of food are you feeding her? Have you looked at dogfoodanalysis.com? If she's that itchy you need to be feeding her the best of the foods on there. I recommended it below in another question, but California Naturals seems to work really well for dogs with allergies. Its a high protein food, with no fillers, and a simple formula.
Reply:oh yah well i think its fleas
Reply:check your dog food. i'll bet wheat is the first ingredient. go to a pet supply store and get a wheat and soy free food. since i switched all 5 of mine to CANIDAE dry, all itchys and hot spots have disappeared. it's only a couple of dollars more than commercial foods, but the dogs are happier and i'm not spending $ at the vets. and your vet can give your dog a cortisone shot to soothe him. its good for about 30 days and by then you should be on your way to getting the poison out of his system.
and don't feed ANY people food. too many preservatives.
Reply:I've heard a LOT of Bichon owners with the same problem. I think its a breed problem. Have you tried fatty acid supplements? (Derm Caps or a similar product?) Have you tried an elimination diet to see if she's allergic to a certain food ingredient? A lot of dogs are allergic to grains...which are in most commercial pet foods. You can do allergy tests which will tell you exactly what she's allergic to, and how strong a reaction it is, but this doesn't cover food. Just grasses, pollens, etc. I think it's pretty pricey though. Have you tried giving her Benadryl or Claritin for the itch? Your vet can give you the proper dosage for her size. Usually vets start with Benadryl, and if that doesn't work they try Claritin.
Reply:Well it *might* be dry skin. Though our dog was pretty itchy for a while...he's now on allergy medication and is a heck of a lot better. Supposedly I think they found that he's allergic to dust mites.
Reply:I have an allergic dog and it's a confounding problem. Here's my approach.
First is high quality food. I feed California Natural that is formulated for allergic dogs. My dog has done much better since we switched to this brand. It works well because there are no artificial ingredients and there are a low number of ingredients, so fewer things to be allergic to. My friend also has an allergic dog and this food works for her too.
Next flea control - keep your dog on Frontline Plus or Advantage all the time. One flea can cause a lot of allergy misery. Checking for fleas isn't enough. You need to treat all the time and all other pets in the household too.
Finally, seasonal and environmental allergies can be a problem. My dog has worse allergies in spring when pollens are prevalent. Biweekly baths with an oatmeal shampoo formulated for dogs removes allergens from their coats and can help a lot. I now have a mobile groomer come and bathe both dogs to keep allergens down. And during spring allergy season, I give my dog benadryl daily to keep the the problem at bay.
If none of this works, you may need to spend the money for the dermatologist. A friend of mine who could not get anything else to work did find help for her dog this way. Expensive but effective. Good luck. I hope this helps.
Reply:Has your vet checked for skin mites by completing a skin scrape?
If so and it has come back negative, it could be an allergy but the problem is from what. There are quite a lot of hyper-allergenic dog foods on the market so that could be a place to start although you would probably have to keep her on it for a good week or so before you'd see any results as whatever is causing the allergy would need to leave her system. It could also be something as simple as washing powder (like with humans). Have you washed her bedding in a particular washing powder or cleaned your floors/carpets with something different.
Unfortunately with allergies, it is a case of trial and error and carefully eliminating things until you hit on the right one that stops the scratching.
Hope this helps a little.
Reply:Well your dog must either have a disease or maybe he has an itching problem. Like me, well my head is really bad with itching. See what you might want to watch for is if he has like red under his hair. Because that is what I have and then I started using a special shampoo and now my hair is nearly as itchy as it was before. So maybe if you go to a pet store you can ask one of the workers there if they have a special shampoo that you can use to help your dog to stop itching. Or when you go to the pet store you can ask them about your dog's itching. Hope this helps you and your dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:It might be fleas, dry skin.... Or, just like my dogs, recently, they've started scratching, as well. Does your Bichon have an odd growth on her belly, where it looks kinda dotted, and is she losing any hair on her rear end, etcetera?
If she is, it's ringworm. Don't listen to most of the vets, they only pull money out of you, as me and my mother have recently noticed.
I know it sounds weird and crude, but there's a spray for athlete's foot that you put in their water once daily, and it grows their hair back, and... Advil, i think it was? some type of medicine that began with an a -- stops the ringworm.
Vet's medicine for it costs over a hundred dollars or so a month.
Those two little human treatments cost about five dollars, and it's worked before.
I'll come back with the right brands for the athlete's foot spray and the human pills later. (: Good luck.
Reply:Had exact problem with my dog long ago.
Even a dermatologist could not be definite,.. so that was waste too.
I've even ripped out all the wall to wall carpets in the entire house,.. thinking it was a rug allergy.
Pediatric liq. Benadryl will give temporary relief as an anti-histamine,.. but as all anti-hist.'s will make poor pup drowsy.
Try keeping dog in a cooler room, I found the central heating in some houses contribute to discomfort and skin/fur probs.
Also, try human grade lamb and rice, chicken and rice, beef and rice ONLY.
Absolutely no processed dog foods with fillers, like corn, wheat grains, etc. Or with food dye coloring.
Be consistant and try this for a few WEEKS (at least 2-3).
I hope this helps and your dog too,.. I know what you are going thru.
Gd. luck.
Reply:Hi there firstly well done for adopting her i can give you a few suggestions and i hope that they help.
1) is she coming into contact with any dogs/ cats that could have fleas, that are bittin her then jumping off?
2)Is she getting overly hot, dogs can get heat rash like humans.
3) If you try her on a different dog food does she still do it? If she does then try her on wainwrights it has everything taken out that could cause allergies, aditives, wheat etc.
4) are you using a carpet freshner? It can play havoc on some dogs skin, especially if it gets caught up in the fur.
5) Are you washing her all the time? You could be getting rid of her natural oils.
6) is she running in any long grass? I know it sounds silly but some dogs react to the grass on their skin.
7) Is ahe stressing over anything that you have noticed?
8) unlikely, but has she got plenty of toys to play with? sometimes they do it out of boredom, however they would not usually take it to this extreme.
9) have you found any kind of sticky wet bits where
she has been scratching, wet eczema can be very itchy.
10) definately get a second opinion.
Go through them and if still nothing, let me know and i will ask around for any other ideas.
Hope this helps.
Reply:my mini doxie had the same problem, she even scratched all the hair off of her belly and neck. i changed her to a food called Canidae , it is the best thing i ever did for her, her
coat is BEAUTIFUL, almost all of the hair has grown back . and she has even gained a few pounds(she needed it ) . I got it at my Vet 's office and it was around $ 25 for a 40 lb bag
ask your vet about it..
Reply:Sorry, this is going to be long.
Small, white dogs are notorious for allergies. Indications of allergies include, itchiness/scratching, chewing and licking of the paws - they may look brown from her saliva staining them, and chronic ear infections. Fleas are a common cause, but you've already ruled them out, so here's what's left: food, contact allergens and inhaled allergens. Food allergies are difficult to pinpoint and feeding a hypoallergenic diet will take a few months to make her significantly better. The 3 most common food allergens are beef, dairy and wheat, followed by chicken, chicken eggs and soy products. Corn, has always been blamed for food allergies, but in 90% of the cases, it is one of those other 6 ingredients that is the culprit. It will not hurt to put her on a hypo diet for 3 months to see if she improves. Your Vet should be able to offer you a few choices. Do not forget that she should be fed this food exclusively ie: no treats, no veggies, no nothing! Just her hypo food - or you're just wasting your time and money. One more quick tip: dogs get allergies to foods that they HAVE been exposed to, not something new that they've just tried.
Next: contact allergens. This refers to things that she comes into contact with that will make her skin flare up. Wool, plastic, mites, fabric softener on her blanket...etc.
Finally, inhaled allergens. These are the pollens that she breathes in and then cause her body to react.
So, how to know. Dogs with inhalant allergies are bad at the same time year after year. Unfortunately, your guy/gal is too young to know if this is the case, however, these "seasonal allergies" to tend to get better in the winter when everything is dormant. Food and contact allergies are year round.
Because the possibilities are endless, it is difficult for your Vet to tell you what exactly is causing the allergies and...most dogs with allergies are allergic to numerous things, not just one thing! So, this leaves your Vet with two options: refer your dog to a dermatologist who will run tests and give you a better idea as to what the culprits are, if this is not an option, than you leave your Vet with the second option: treat the symptoms as they present themselves. This usually means antihistamines and steriods to decrease the itchiness and reduce inflammation. (prednisone, vanectyl-P). I would talk to your Vet about a trial diet with a hypo food and also adding fatty acid supplements (omega 3, 6) to it. If she requires steriods, try giving her Benadryl as well. Only 30% of dogs respond well to Benadryl, but if she is one of them, it is certainly better for her to be on anithistamines rather than steriods. Even if the Bendryl helps a bit, you may be able to reduce the steriod dose.
Bottom line: allergies are difficult to treat - as you are certainly finding out. Its not a case of, "here's her meds, problem solved". This is a life long condition that will be "managed" through diet and medication. And, if you truly feel that your current Vet is just taking your money and not helping you find the answers you need, then by all means go elsewhere.
Any advise is greatly appreciated! But please- leave the rude and sacrastic comments out, I'm just trying to be a good mom :)

Reply:check your dog food. i'll bet wheat is the first ingredient. go to a pet supply store and get a wheat and soy free food. since i switched all 5 of mine to CANIDAE dry, all itchys and hot spots have disappeared. it's only a couple of dollars more than commercial foods, but the dogs are happier and i'm not spending $ at the vets. and your vet can give your dog a cortisone shot to soothe him. its good for about 30 days and by then you should be on your way to getting the poison out of his system.
and don't feed ANY people food. too many preservatives.
Reply:I've heard a LOT of Bichon owners with the same problem. I think its a breed problem. Have you tried fatty acid supplements? (Derm Caps or a similar product?) Have you tried an elimination diet to see if she's allergic to a certain food ingredient? A lot of dogs are allergic to grains...which are in most commercial pet foods. You can do allergy tests which will tell you exactly what she's allergic to, and how strong a reaction it is, but this doesn't cover food. Just grasses, pollens, etc. I think it's pretty pricey though. Have you tried giving her Benadryl or Claritin for the itch? Your vet can give you the proper dosage for her size. Usually vets start with Benadryl, and if that doesn't work they try Claritin.
Reply:Well it *might* be dry skin. Though our dog was pretty itchy for a while...he's now on allergy medication and is a heck of a lot better. Supposedly I think they found that he's allergic to dust mites.
Reply:I have an allergic dog and it's a confounding problem. Here's my approach.
First is high quality food. I feed California Natural that is formulated for allergic dogs. My dog has done much better since we switched to this brand. It works well because there are no artificial ingredients and there are a low number of ingredients, so fewer things to be allergic to. My friend also has an allergic dog and this food works for her too.
Next flea control - keep your dog on Frontline Plus or Advantage all the time. One flea can cause a lot of allergy misery. Checking for fleas isn't enough. You need to treat all the time and all other pets in the household too.
Finally, seasonal and environmental allergies can be a problem. My dog has worse allergies in spring when pollens are prevalent. Biweekly baths with an oatmeal shampoo formulated for dogs removes allergens from their coats and can help a lot. I now have a mobile groomer come and bathe both dogs to keep allergens down. And during spring allergy season, I give my dog benadryl daily to keep the the problem at bay.
If none of this works, you may need to spend the money for the dermatologist. A friend of mine who could not get anything else to work did find help for her dog this way. Expensive but effective. Good luck. I hope this helps.
Reply:Has your vet checked for skin mites by completing a skin scrape?
If so and it has come back negative, it could be an allergy but the problem is from what. There are quite a lot of hyper-allergenic dog foods on the market so that could be a place to start although you would probably have to keep her on it for a good week or so before you'd see any results as whatever is causing the allergy would need to leave her system. It could also be something as simple as washing powder (like with humans). Have you washed her bedding in a particular washing powder or cleaned your floors/carpets with something different.
Unfortunately with allergies, it is a case of trial and error and carefully eliminating things until you hit on the right one that stops the scratching.
Hope this helps a little.
Reply:Well your dog must either have a disease or maybe he has an itching problem. Like me, well my head is really bad with itching. See what you might want to watch for is if he has like red under his hair. Because that is what I have and then I started using a special shampoo and now my hair is nearly as itchy as it was before. So maybe if you go to a pet store you can ask one of the workers there if they have a special shampoo that you can use to help your dog to stop itching. Or when you go to the pet store you can ask them about your dog's itching. Hope this helps you and your dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:It might be fleas, dry skin.... Or, just like my dogs, recently, they've started scratching, as well. Does your Bichon have an odd growth on her belly, where it looks kinda dotted, and is she losing any hair on her rear end, etcetera?
If she is, it's ringworm. Don't listen to most of the vets, they only pull money out of you, as me and my mother have recently noticed.
I know it sounds weird and crude, but there's a spray for athlete's foot that you put in their water once daily, and it grows their hair back, and... Advil, i think it was? some type of medicine that began with an a -- stops the ringworm.
Vet's medicine for it costs over a hundred dollars or so a month.
Those two little human treatments cost about five dollars, and it's worked before.
I'll come back with the right brands for the athlete's foot spray and the human pills later. (: Good luck.
Reply:Had exact problem with my dog long ago.
Even a dermatologist could not be definite,.. so that was waste too.
I've even ripped out all the wall to wall carpets in the entire house,.. thinking it was a rug allergy.
Pediatric liq. Benadryl will give temporary relief as an anti-histamine,.. but as all anti-hist.'s will make poor pup drowsy.
Try keeping dog in a cooler room, I found the central heating in some houses contribute to discomfort and skin/fur probs.
Also, try human grade lamb and rice, chicken and rice, beef and rice ONLY.
Absolutely no processed dog foods with fillers, like corn, wheat grains, etc. Or with food dye coloring.
Be consistant and try this for a few WEEKS (at least 2-3).
I hope this helps and your dog too,.. I know what you are going thru.
Gd. luck.
Reply:Hi there firstly well done for adopting her i can give you a few suggestions and i hope that they help.
1) is she coming into contact with any dogs/ cats that could have fleas, that are bittin her then jumping off?
2)Is she getting overly hot, dogs can get heat rash like humans.
3) If you try her on a different dog food does she still do it? If she does then try her on wainwrights it has everything taken out that could cause allergies, aditives, wheat etc.
4) are you using a carpet freshner? It can play havoc on some dogs skin, especially if it gets caught up in the fur.
5) Are you washing her all the time? You could be getting rid of her natural oils.
6) is she running in any long grass? I know it sounds silly but some dogs react to the grass on their skin.
7) Is ahe stressing over anything that you have noticed?
8) unlikely, but has she got plenty of toys to play with? sometimes they do it out of boredom, however they would not usually take it to this extreme.
9) have you found any kind of sticky wet bits where
she has been scratching, wet eczema can be very itchy.
10) definately get a second opinion.
Go through them and if still nothing, let me know and i will ask around for any other ideas.
Hope this helps.
Reply:my mini doxie had the same problem, she even scratched all the hair off of her belly and neck. i changed her to a food called Canidae , it is the best thing i ever did for her, her
coat is BEAUTIFUL, almost all of the hair has grown back . and she has even gained a few pounds(she needed it ) . I got it at my Vet 's office and it was around $ 25 for a 40 lb bag
ask your vet about it..
Reply:Sorry, this is going to be long.
Small, white dogs are notorious for allergies. Indications of allergies include, itchiness/scratching, chewing and licking of the paws - they may look brown from her saliva staining them, and chronic ear infections. Fleas are a common cause, but you've already ruled them out, so here's what's left: food, contact allergens and inhaled allergens. Food allergies are difficult to pinpoint and feeding a hypoallergenic diet will take a few months to make her significantly better. The 3 most common food allergens are beef, dairy and wheat, followed by chicken, chicken eggs and soy products. Corn, has always been blamed for food allergies, but in 90% of the cases, it is one of those other 6 ingredients that is the culprit. It will not hurt to put her on a hypo diet for 3 months to see if she improves. Your Vet should be able to offer you a few choices. Do not forget that she should be fed this food exclusively ie: no treats, no veggies, no nothing! Just her hypo food - or you're just wasting your time and money. One more quick tip: dogs get allergies to foods that they HAVE been exposed to, not something new that they've just tried.
Next: contact allergens. This refers to things that she comes into contact with that will make her skin flare up. Wool, plastic, mites, fabric softener on her blanket...etc.
Finally, inhaled allergens. These are the pollens that she breathes in and then cause her body to react.
So, how to know. Dogs with inhalant allergies are bad at the same time year after year. Unfortunately, your guy/gal is too young to know if this is the case, however, these "seasonal allergies" to tend to get better in the winter when everything is dormant. Food and contact allergies are year round.
Because the possibilities are endless, it is difficult for your Vet to tell you what exactly is causing the allergies and...most dogs with allergies are allergic to numerous things, not just one thing! So, this leaves your Vet with two options: refer your dog to a dermatologist who will run tests and give you a better idea as to what the culprits are, if this is not an option, than you leave your Vet with the second option: treat the symptoms as they present themselves. This usually means antihistamines and steriods to decrease the itchiness and reduce inflammation. (prednisone, vanectyl-P). I would talk to your Vet about a trial diet with a hypo food and also adding fatty acid supplements (omega 3, 6) to it. If she requires steriods, try giving her Benadryl as well. Only 30% of dogs respond well to Benadryl, but if she is one of them, it is certainly better for her to be on anithistamines rather than steriods. Even if the Bendryl helps a bit, you may be able to reduce the steriod dose.
Bottom line: allergies are difficult to treat - as you are certainly finding out. Its not a case of, "here's her meds, problem solved". This is a life long condition that will be "managed" through diet and medication. And, if you truly feel that your current Vet is just taking your money and not helping you find the answers you need, then by all means go elsewhere.
Pekingese skin allergy?
I just adopted a 6yr old pekingese, she has really dry, flaky sking, thin hair, no fleas or any bugs, looks mostly like rash or dry skin or both, anything i can use other than medicated shampoo from vet? Chewy thanks you!!!
Pekingese skin allergy?
Try adding a little fish oil to his food. Also get him checked out by your vet. It could be allergies or several other problems. No point in guessing.
Congrats on your new family member,
Reply:Many people change to a more natural raw diet because of their pets' skin conditions. Often the inappropriate and poor quality ingredients in many commercial pet foods contribute to skin and digestive problems in many dogs.
From what I have read the dog may lose more hair as the unhealthy stuffs falls out but the regrowth will be lush and shiny. Fish oil capsules are often recommended with coat problems too.

Excessive itching/flaking skin?
My chihuahua is close to 10 years old and has always had seasonal skin allergies and flaking in the fall months. I've taken her to the vet and all he wants to do is inject her with hydrocotizone. I fear that this is taking time off of her life although it helps. She is on a special diet, high in OMEGA fatty acids, etc. and I don't believe it's a food allergy niether does the vet.
The poor thing is miserable, any SERIOUS suggestions?
Excessive itching/flaking skin?
You could gradually switch her to a food like Royal Canin Chihuahua, specially formulated for that breed. Then ask your Vet about 3V Skin Caps which is a supplement containing Omega 3 and Vit A, D and E which work together to improve skin and coat.
No harm in trying. It has helped my dogs, two of them have sensitive skin and one used to get cortisone shots regularly.
Also, how often do you bathe your dog and what with? Maybe the Vet can suggest a medicated shampoo that will help her skin and coat, or get a hypoallergenic shampoo from your area pet store. One woman I know adds a benadryl capsule to her dogs shampoo. It works topically in this way.
Reply:I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe you should change it's food just temporarily, to see if that's it, cause you never know, and worse case scenario, your dog gets tastier food. ^^ How often do you bathe her? And what shampoo do you use? She may be allergic to the shampoo, I would get her a special type of allergenic shampoo...And maybe to spoil her, or help her feel a little better, I would get her a sweater. ^^ Anyway, good luck!! I hope everything works out okay. Happy holidays.
Reply:Do you use any flea and tick treatments on your dog? It may be the problem. My lab/springer mix suffered from skin allergies resulting in problems with flea and tick treatments. You may also want to consider changing the dog's food to possibly a organic type food or one designed for dogs with sensitive skin. The Nutro line has some really great foods and my dog did very well on the sensitive stomach formula. Once I put her on this food and took her off Science Diet(which is one of the worst foods for dogs) her skin cleared up(she was always scratching and had white flaky patches on her joints). She still had problems with flea and tick treatments, but I found that Sergeants Rid Flea and Frontline didn't bother her.

I have a 13 year old cat with allergies and need advice!?
My vet recently diagnosed our new puppy with skin allergies and told us to give him 1/3 of dissolvable children's Benadryl. Our 13 year old male cat has a terrible flea allergy. We give him Frontline Plus but he is an outdoor/indoor cat and he gets a flea now and then anyways. One flea and he has a terrible reaction. He bites and itches so much he makes big sores and has caused infections. His vet won't give him Hydrocortisone anymore (jt's dangerous long term I guess). My question is would children's Benedryl help him too? Anyone else have something that's worked on their kitty? He's such a sweet cat and I want him to be comfortable!
I have a 13 year old cat with allergies and need advice!?
"For flea and other insect bites, the homeopathic remedies Apis mellifica and Rhus tox often provide relief within twenty-four hours from the usual scratching." Joseph Demers, DVM
Apis mellifica 6C: give up to five times daily if there is a raised red bump at the site of the bite.
Rhus tox 6C: Give up to five times daily if there is less sign of inflamation.
Those directions don't make a great deal of sense to me. I would find a homeopathic vet to consult about how to use these remedies. AHVMA@compuserve.com or acadvethom.org. Using these sites will help locate a vet in your area.
Calendula lotion which you can get at a health foods store is very healing and soothing for those sores as long as they are not infected.
Reply:Give the cat benadryl when it is very bad with allergies
Reply:With the age of your cat, I think that it would be best to contact the vet. Cats at 13 have things that are systematic and giving him Benedryl might make them worse. Also, weight would have alot to do with the amount.
Reply:Yes, you can use any meds. a human takes on animals. I do it all the time. For eye problems, use neosporin, put a little dap inside the lid a rub the eye a few times. And for those sores, you can used any old antibotics, the doctor gave you,to fight infection. I hope this helps you, and your kitty!
Reply:You might want to keep him inside...My siamese got allergies when she got older %26amp; we had to work to make her better!!!
Reply:Bodhi I know you think that was a funny answer, come over here and try it!
Get spray on Bendryl and use it when he starts itching. It will work just fine!
Reply:The best bet is to try and keep your cat indoors. I havent heard of giving cats benadryl but you can ask your vet. Keep applying the frontline, but try to keep him indoors.

Reply:Alergies, skin conditions, are often food related. Our pets need quality pet food. Read the ingredients list and learn what the stuff on there is and what it does (or does not do) to/for our pets. A quick pet food 101. If the pet food contains corn/corn products or by products it is a poor quality food. Do not pay attention to advertising, they all say there food is great. Corn is a filler that can trigger skin problems. (allergies, skin problems, itching and excessive shedding) By products is anything from an animal not fit for human consumption, including cancerous tissue. Quality foods have meat as the first ingredient. California Natural, Solid Gold, Innova and Merrick are a few of the best brands available.

Reply:I agree that the cause is likely to be food related.
With commercial foods, it hard to rule out one allergy at a time. I would recommend feeding your dog raw meat on the bone and stopping the steroid (slowly as their can be problems if they are stopped suddenly). I know there is a lot of controversy over raw feeding, but look at the example nature has set for you from the dogs closes living "relative" - the wolf. If you look up a dogs recommended daily nutrient guide in vet books, you will see there is no requirement for carbohydrates list. Therefore, there is no use to feed your dog grains (a major component of dog food and common allergens).

A question about steriod shots for dog allergies?
We've been under the impression that our dog has contact skin allergies. He'll lick at his stomach, get sores on it, and then we take him to the vet and get a steroid shot. The sores clear up for about two months.
For a host of reasons, including that he only licks when we aren't home, we're starting to think that he doesn't have allergies at all but that he's licking and causing these sores because he's bored when we're gone. If this is the case, though, would the steroid shots still have made a difference?
I will ask the vet about this as well, so no need to recommend that. But my vet isn't in today, and I was curious now.
A question about steriod shots for dog allergies?
Yes steriods help open wounds of any tye or origin heal.
However; the steriods would not stop him from licking unless its allergies.
Also OCD licking will not stop just because you are home unless you make the dog stop when you see him doing it.
Added:
Steriods will help the itching from the allergies.
Reply:I have two comments.
First, one of my dogs died of kidney failure because of too much Prednizone. Be careful.
Second, my Maggie had separation anxiety when I adopted her. She was put on Clomicalm - an anti-depressant and she stopped kicking her paws in about 4 days. She is so much happier.

Reply:Yes the steroid shots will stop the allergies,but the childrens benedryl will do the same thing.Give your pet about 1/3 teaspoon of benedryl every 6 hours.
Reply:change your dog food-go to a bland dietand use benadryl/
Reply:The dog knows that he can not lick his sores when you are home so he will do it when you are gone.
Have you tried changing your pets food? He may have a food allergy. One of your bichons was that way. It got so bad we thought they were going to have to amputate his tail, he had bald spots and rash and bloody areas. Shot after shot,cream after cream,medicated shampoos, Vet after Vet. No one could help, or knew what the problems was. We ended up having him neutered as we did not want it to pass onto puppies, as one vet even said it was hereditary.. Finally by accident I stopped in to a vet when on vacation and asked, he said if nothing was working with the other vets it was a food allergy We switched to a good quality food and have never had a prob em since.
It could be the problem. Also make sure your dog does not have fleas.
EDIT: They only gave our Bichon relief for about 3 weeks. then it was right back to the vet again. So to answer your last part. No, it does not treat the cause it only relieved the symptoms.
Reply:I know this may sound silly, but when your gone, put a t-shirt on your dog. This way he cant lick his belly. If it is skin allergies he would lick all the time. Seems like it may be a case of separation anxiety. I have heard that some people leave the television on when they leave and it comforts the dog while your away because he can hear voices and sound. If it is allergies there are many other solutions to the problem aside from steroid shots. Obviously you know of the risk involved with these steroids. There is an awesome medication that we prescribe for allergies. It is very expensive but it works miraculously. It is called Atopica. Wonderful product. Good Luck.

Reply:Yes the steroid shots will stop the allergies,but the childrens benedryl will do the same thing.Give your pet about 1/3 teaspoon of benedryl every 6 hours.
Reply:change your dog food-go to a bland dietand use benadryl/
Reply:The dog knows that he can not lick his sores when you are home so he will do it when you are gone.
Have you tried changing your pets food? He may have a food allergy. One of your bichons was that way. It got so bad we thought they were going to have to amputate his tail, he had bald spots and rash and bloody areas. Shot after shot,cream after cream,medicated shampoos, Vet after Vet. No one could help, or knew what the problems was. We ended up having him neutered as we did not want it to pass onto puppies, as one vet even said it was hereditary.. Finally by accident I stopped in to a vet when on vacation and asked, he said if nothing was working with the other vets it was a food allergy We switched to a good quality food and have never had a prob em since.
It could be the problem. Also make sure your dog does not have fleas.
EDIT: They only gave our Bichon relief for about 3 weeks. then it was right back to the vet again. So to answer your last part. No, it does not treat the cause it only relieved the symptoms.
Reply:I know this may sound silly, but when your gone, put a t-shirt on your dog. This way he cant lick his belly. If it is skin allergies he would lick all the time. Seems like it may be a case of separation anxiety. I have heard that some people leave the television on when they leave and it comforts the dog while your away because he can hear voices and sound. If it is allergies there are many other solutions to the problem aside from steroid shots. Obviously you know of the risk involved with these steroids. There is an awesome medication that we prescribe for allergies. It is very expensive but it works miraculously. It is called Atopica. Wonderful product. Good Luck.
Help Dog with severe allergies?
I have a 13 year old Peekigneese (Buddy), and in the summers he always gets skin allergies he just itches terrible, I am taking him to the vet tomorrow to get a shot for them, but in the mean time he is just miserable! Does anyone have any suggestions that might relive his itching? I had him groomed today and the bath did not do him any good. I thought it might help but to no avail. Please help he has to be just miserable! I know I would be! Thanks in advance from both me and Buddy!
Help Dog with severe allergies?
I had a dog with allergies. First you'd have to determine just what it is that is causing the allergy. "Tina's" problem was food allergies. If you can find the cause of the itching, its much easier to deal with the problem if you can minimize contact with the cause. If you bathe your dog often, it could be simply dry skin. Ask the vet to help you determine what is causing the allergic reaction. When Tina's itching got to a point where she was becoming miserable, I gave her Benedryl. Ask your vet about dosing amounts if you use Benedryl.... it really helps too.
Or try a cortisone shot at the vet. Or Prednesone pills.
Reply:You can give him one half of a Benadryl tablet. Poor Buddy!
Reply:well.. could it be the pollen from flowers nearby? i am just guessing since it occurs during summers.
Reply:try benedryl
Reply:take him to the vet. He can get a cortisone shot which will help enourmously
Reply:please don't give him any meds tonight as they could be wrong for one and possible interfere with the meds given at the vet appt. oatmeal baths can be soothing and is a natural remedy. are you sure you can't wait til the appt tomorrow?
Reply:well it looks like that he might have an ear inection .Dogs scratch a lot doing those things anl lick there paws.Otherwise they can have food mites if yoou feed him dry food boil water and pore it over it lwt it cool off b 4 feeding it to the dog.If you do it couple times it will work....oh if he scratch his ear wipe it out with baby wipe but still needs antibiotic for the infection
Reply:The first answerer was right. Give ole buddy some benedryl. He is small, so be sure you do it by weight. My vet told me to give mine that as prescribed for a fix - it might save you a visit. No prescription at all. Just Benedryl. By the way, it is really bad for all seasonal allergy people AND dogs right now. Don't freak out, it really won't kill Buddy if that is what it is. It just seems bad. Poor baby...
Reply:I have a dog with terrible allergies. In the past I've gotten all kinds of pills to help him, and even went through the series of allergy shots (at $80 a vial!). Since he has gotten older, he doesn't have them as bad anymore. I can usually get by with just giving him baths to keep the allergans that he has off of him. There's special shampoos %26amp; conditioners that soothe the skin and prevent itching. I got those from my vet. It sounds like Buddy needs medication for the summer months. I don't think there's much you can do right now until you speak to your vet tomorrow. Good Luck
Reply:it could be his food some dogs don't tolrate wheat...corn..gultens or meals...to much of these can cause dry flaky skin. if he has hot spots put vitamin oil on the spots...its ok if the dog licks at vitamin e oil.
oatmeal shampoo works well i always have use a baby type on my dogs.
Reply:I would just wait till you take her to the vet tomorrow. My vet said sometimes when walking my dog he can accumulate stuff on his face and feet that cause him to itch so wiping him down with a wash cloth with cool water can help a little or trying those bath wipes can help too. I have a dog with bad allergies also. He is on prednisone think i spelled that right its the common drug given by vets for this. It helps out alot. Nothing else seems to give him relief. I've tried benedryl but that didn't do much at all. I know how you feel I hated seeing my dog miserable to till we found the only thing that would help him. Hope he feels better soon.
Reply:I agree with most people on the benadryl but another tip that was recommended to me by someone for dry, flaking skin is to add just a hair of olive oil to their foot. my dog had extremely dry skin until i began add olive oil. Works like a charm.
Reply:Hi there I'm sorry to hear that Buddy is so unwell with all the irritation and scratching but I know through experience as I am a dog beautician that bathing can only add to this problem. Because they have a thick undercoat have you ever though of taking his coat down leaving about two inches all over to let his skin breath a little I have done a lot of my customers dogs like this and they look like little teddy bears and their owners are so delighted as they would never have thought of doing this. Also you have probably done this already but to change his diet to complete food would be beneficial and they are more inclined to drink more too which is good.

Homade dog treats for a dog with allergies.......?
We have a new dog with some skin allergies and we are wondering if anyone else has a dog with severe allergies and if so do you make homemade treats for him or her? If you do could you give me some recipes that we could try for our dog? She is on meds and an allergen free dog food.
Homade dog treats for a dog with allergies.......?
Here are a few that are wheat, corn and soy free:
Good Dog" Cookies
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 egg, well beaten
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 1/2 tsp brown sugar
1/2 cup water
6 tblsp gravy
Baby food meat
Mix all ingredients well. Roll out on a floured board about 1/2" thick. Cut out cookie shapes with floured cutters.
Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes. Cool, maybe leaving them in the oven to dry. Cookies should be hard. Store in an airtight container.
Wheatfree Salmon Treats
1 8 oz. can salmon with juice
1/2 cup chopped parsley
3 eggs, shells included
1/2 cup sesame seeds ground up in coffee grinder
1/2 cup flax seeds ground up in coffee grinder
2-3 cups potato flour
Put these ingredients into a food processer, mix VERY WELL. Pour potato flour through the opening while the motor is running. I can't tell you exactly how much, but I would guess about 2-3 cups. When the dough forms, like a pie curst, and rolls into a ball it is ready to take out.
Dump this mess onto potato floured counter or board. Knead more flour into this and when it is a rolled out cookie consistancy, it is ready to roll out into about 14 inch thick. I use a pizza cutter to roll our long strips and then cut crosswise to make samll squares . If you want FANCY you may use a cookie cutter. Bake on cookie sheets, sprayed Pam or line the sheet with parchemnt paper. I put in as many as will fit. Usually two whole cookie sheets suffices. I bake this in a 375ยบ oven for 20 min. Turn and rotate the cookie sheets and bake about 10 more minutes. You can make them as soft or as hard as you want. From Ruthie on the B.A.R.F. list.
Homemade Frosty Paws
1 Quart plain or vanilla yogurt
1 banana or 1 lrg jar banana baby food
2 Tbsp peanut butter
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp carob powder (optional)
If using regular banana mash well....mix all ingredients until well blended ( you could use a food processor or blender) Place into ice cube trays or small bathroom sized cups and freeze. Once frozen you can store in freezer in plastic bag. The great thing is you can play with recipe and add stuff that your dog likes. I use the carob powder or carob chips . Some people add granola to theirs.
Reply:NO!!!!!!!!! SORRY but i do make homemade treats for My dogs but they don't have any allergies
Reply:You dont have to do homemade treats. Evolve makes and nuatural balance both make alergy resistant dog treats.

Skin allergy?
I've been getting a kinda rash(light patches) on my hand and now i've noticed that it has come on the other hand too...i've been applying skin ointment,sandalwood paste etc...at times it itches especially when i go out in the sun...elders tell me they are sun burns...i've never showed it to a doctor ...do u think i need to see a dermatologist ??how can i reduce it??
Skin allergy?
I have that too. I went to the dermatologist. He gave me a really strong cortisone. It was gone in 2 days. I think it's eczema.
Reply:I get light rashes when the warm times hit. I especially get them after I put SPF on or I've been out in the sun too long. Cool compresses and hydrocortisone cream tend to work for me. If they are uncomfortable enough, then I would definitely suggest you see a doctor.
Reply:.Go to the doc, it's not a normal sun burn and needs to be treated
Reply:You might have what is called photosensitivity (what many refer to as a sun allergy). There are also several subtypes of this problem that require different treatments. You can google "photosensitivity" and you will get lots of articles that explain all about it. I would check it out, and if it doesn't go away, definitely go see your doctor! My husband has a type of photosensitivity and gets a rash at the beginning of the summer every year. His doctor has given him medication in the past that makes it go away. Good luck!
Reply:Sounds like dry skin. What are you washing your hands with throughout the day-change it up and see if anything different happens.
Reply:Sounds like eczema, you can either visit a pharmacist or dermatologist for treatment.

Skin allergy?
Skin affections ares merely local manifestations of some constitutional affection. They represent the effort of nature to get rid of some poison in the system, congenital or acquired, which effort should not be suppressed but abetted. The indications for our remedies will not only aid in this by correction of the soil, but also avoid the dangers of suppression by external applications.
Homeopathic Medicines %26amp; Treatment for Eczema, Allergic Dermatitis, Uriticaria, Skin Allergy, Psoriasis, Herpes etc.
#Graphites. [Graph]
our great remedy for all sorts of skin diseases, no doubt often mis-prescribed, and hence frequently disappoints. The symptoms calling for it are very clear; there are moist scabby eruptions on the scalp, face, bends of joints, between fingers and behind the ears. The corners of the mouth and eyes are cracked, bleeding and oozing a gluey, honey-like, thick, tenacious discharge, a fissured eczema is the type. Great itching always accompanies the eruption.

Crusts are white, and on awakening, in the morning especially, the child will scratch furiously.

Vesicles on an erysipelatous base. Clematis. Rawness, worse washing, moist eruption.
#Sulphur. [Sulph]
The great characteristic of this remedy is the aggravation from washing; this, with scratching, makes the parts burn intensely. The skin is rough, coarse and measly, and there is much soreness in the folds of the skin and a tendency to pustular eruptions. Dryness and heat of scalp, with intense itching, especially at night, and scratching causes soreness; wetting makes it burn. Eczema erythematosum. Eruption of yellow crusts.

Berberis aquifolia. Scaly pustular eruptions on the face. It is one of the most reliable remedies in the cure of psoriasis. Hydrocotyle. Great dryness and desquamation of the epidermis. Acne rosacea. Its special field is in psoriasis and Dearborn praises it in leprosy. The writer cured a case of inveterate psoriasis universale with this remedy. Dr. H.V. Halbert, of Chicago, considered Thyroidine in the 3X or 30X potency as worthy a trial in psoriasis. He reports excellent results from its use. Indications are a dry and impoverished skin, cold hands and feet. Psoriasis is a pregrowth symptom of cancer. The condition of the skin should always be noted, being the great organ of elimination of poisons. Borax was considered by Dr. McClatchey as curative of many cases of psoriasis, and indeed it corresponds to many symptoms of this disease. Petroleum.

Small blisters with much itching. Hughes says that Croton relieves the itching of eczema rapidly and permanently. Anacardium. Small blisters with an umbilicated center. The eruption itches excessively and burns. The remedy has been used successfully in Rhus poisoning. Dolichos. Itching without eruption. the writer has a number of times verified this symptom. It will sometimes control diabetic itching, and it is especially useful in senile pruritus. Worse at night. Worse across the shoulders. Fagopyrum. Itching worse by scratching.
