Have searched site and can't seem to find an answer so would like to post question about present situation. Noticed 3-4 days ago that my outer lower left leg looked totally bald (like someone had shaven the outside half of my lower left leg). Right leg had 'thinning' hair, but not like left leg. Now outside half of lower right leg is almost as bald as outside half of (original) lower left leg.
Anyone have any thoughts? Really scared right now.... (hence screen name)

I work as an archaeologist during the summer in the Midwest.
Over this past season I found what I thought was a but on my leg. Being an archaeologist, it freaked me out with all of the horror stories from brown recluses. So I went to the urgent care as soon as I noticed it was around for a couple of days and getting more red.
They checked it out and gave me Bactrim. After while the sore/bite seemed to go away. But I was still getting spasms in the same area.
Soon after I started getting dizziness.
Also, cysts. One on my cheek, groin, and then on my back.
The cysts went away. The dizziness is still intermittent.
Curiously, another sore of the same type showed up recently (6 to 7 months after the first one.)
The sore still hasn't gone away and Im still getting spasms in the area.
I've been checked for almost EVERYTHING in regards to the dizziness. But they really haven't t focused on the sore on my leg at all. I got an MRA, MRI, ENT exam, Ct Scan, Lyme disease tests, random blood work. An opthamologist exam. To be quite honest I can't even remember all of the tests that Ive been through. All of them are negative and or tell me nothing about why I'm dizzy.
I keep telling my doctor that this all kind of started around the same time I got the thing on my leg but no one really pays any attention to it.
Does anyone have any ideas?View Thread

He's very athletic and always participating in sports so we are constantly changing socks and drying out shoes to keep his feet dry. We use CeraVe lotion with Salicylic Acid on a daily basis.
We are currently trying coconut oil as a moisturizer, but too soon to know if it will help. We tried an apple cider vinegar bath for his feet, but that was excruciating due to the cuts from the blisters.
I hate using such a strong steroid cream, but it's been the only thing to slow down the blister formation. Before he was diagnosed, we were treating with a low steroid cream (doctor prescribed) and he developed a secondary infection in both feet where he was bed-ridden for 3 days.
I know there's no cure, but would sure love some advice on controlling the outbreaks. He takes it in stride, but I know it affects him emotionallyView Thread

Most skin rash conditions I've read about are always accompanied by itching. Her rash doesn't itch her -- it only burns. The closest condition I can attribute to hers is Heat Rash, which somewhat makes sense since she is going through her menopause.
She has seen her doctor, who told her to apply Calamine lotion, wait and see if the rash spreads. She then met with a dermatologist, who spoke with her for literally 30 secs and gave her a sample of -------. Most of her doctors are covered by her very cheap insurance and they don't seem to care enough to give a thorough analysis.
Could anyone provide additional information or opinions?
[The photos appear less intense than the rash actually is due to the flash from the camera.>

I have lightly exfoliated the area and have spent an hour a day with a hot pack on the infected area. It is very uncomfortable to walk and sit down.
I am an otherwise very active and healthy 19 year old. I am in a long term monogamous relationship so an std is not a possibility.
It has gotten progressively worse over the last 3 days.

We are going to try bath salt and he is going to seek medical help. Sometimes he will have the chest caughs that seem to block his airway - this happened a couple of times.
Nothing unusual occurs in our household that I suspect will trigger such skin irritation.View Thread
I do tan a little a couple times a week in tanning beds and I have noticed the redness does happen after I tan sometimes, but not every time I tan. I'm also pretty sure I've had the rash longer than I've been tanning. I also have recently been diagnosed with Sjogrens. I didn't know if it made sense with that at all. I know I need to get in to actually see a doctor and I will, but I guess I"m just worried and I don't what it to be anything serious.View Thread
