That sounds horrible, hope you get to the bottom of it soon, bummer about the comp as well]]> Wed, 31 Oct 2007 14:24:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11911&PID=238864&title=this-so-sucks#238864 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11911&PID=238720&title=this-so-sucks#238720 Author: SuziE

After having massing 'allergy' reaction (they never did find out what it was, I put it down to huge hormonal shifts with pregnancy) I would say to you keep on hassling to get specialist treatment. Hassle them to get in asap. Most GP's are only good for bandaids when it comes to dermitology.

I ended up in hospital with mine. They bathed me in Condy's Crystals (potassium permanganate) followed by applying cortisone ointments (ointments because the compounds in white creams can cause skin reactions), and then wrapping me in hot sheets and plastic (I looked like an egypitian mummy!). This shut the reaction down within 4 days.

What ever I did at home seem to make it worse. I had every antihistamine, prednizone, cream, lotion you could imagine. They told me that my skin was so hypersensitive that I was reacting to sunlight!!

Cut out all soaps, washing powders, 'hot' foods ...

Make sure you keep moisurised ... a tub of Skin Clinic Duoleum Ointment is a must ... fantastic stuff!!

Drink plenty of water!!

And keep on to the doctors ... try and pinpoint what you were doing, eating, using when it started and try and keep out of the sun.

I feel for you ... its aweful aye
Bummer about the comp too ... next year??? ]]> Wed, 31 Oct 2007 10:57:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11911&PID=238720&title=this-so-sucks#238720 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11911&PID=238667&title=this-so-sucks#238667 Author: Glow

Yesterday was the 3rd time id been to Doc.. Its progressivly got worse since a few weeks ago now ive got antihestimines, antibiotics, calmine lotion & creams.
   He said something about a skin infection/reaction & has done bloods & everything but sometimes GP's are just GP aye? I will be booked into dermo next week if this new stuff ive got doesnt work. Talk about walking pharmacy

eeewwww... sounds like you need something for the itch first. I would be inclined to see a doc. is it exczema perhaps...? ]]> Wed, 31 Oct 2007 08:40:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11911&PID=238639&title=this-so-sucks#238639 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11911&PID=238636&title=this-so-sucks#238636 Author: Glow

I have developed a major skin reaction/infection all over my head, face, neck, back & chest & will feel like a fool entering a international swimwear comp, even more so having major stretch marks on my gut... so i guess i anit doing it!!!
No wonder i couldnt get it together & find myself a sponsor *sigh*
Anyway any advice or suggestion to help with the skin prob will be great ]]> Wed, 31 Oct 2007 08:19:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11911&PID=238627&title=this-so-sucks#238627
