Default Rash

I have broken out in a rash. I haven't changed vitamins and the food that I am eating, I have always eaten.

Has anyone else had a rash issue?

It is only on my inner forearms. It is prickly and not really itchy but the bumps are brite red.

Our animals are outdoors so it is nothing that I can think of in the house.

Very strange.

My ex-mother in law is allergic to plastic and if she carries a plastic grocery store bag she breaks out in a rash and its in the same place yours is maybe you have become allergic to some kind of material in your clothes or you could be allergic to the laundry soap or softner you are using I was told that allergic reactions can happen anytime I used this Oil Olay stuff for my face for like 5 years and it was wonderful and one day I used it woke up in the morning and I had broken out in hives my eyes were swollen my face itched it was on my neck, eyes checks and when I went to the doc thats when I found out it could be something you have always eaten or something you have always used and then your body will just become allergic to it...my advice go to the doc. Good Luck

Me too! I don't know if its related to losing weight or the surgery though. I had started developing a red itchy bumpy rash on my arms. I started putting cortizone cream on it, and at least that makes the itch go away. I just started putting the cream on tonight. Hmmm. I don't have allergies, and I haven't been around anything new lately.

In maintenance... now I'm yo-yoing up and down 10 lbs or so. I'm trying to find out how to stay at a set weight, it's rough.

Thanks,

I have an appt next week.

I have been popping benedryl and had a steroid cream left over from a year ago. The rash has not changed.

It is only on the forearms. Kind of blotchy and bumpy. It is the strangest thing.
