The doctor has various substances to test you with.  The potential allergens are in solution so they can be injected intradermally using a very fine needle, one that hardly hurts at all.  The whole thing is sterile, not just the water.\n\nIf a particular allergen triggers a reaction, there can be redness and swelling.  Do not miss your appointment for reading the tests.\n\nSometimes they do a large number of items with a kind of 'scraping' test rather than needles.  Typical for 'food panel.'\n\nI have very severe allergy.  The first ragweed pollen test caused my leg to swell up like a watermelon and I ran a 104.4 fever that night.  The other tests in the vicinity could not be read.\n\nThat is what you call a REAL positive reaction.  Most all other allergy sufferers will not have that severe.\n\nYou cannot do this yourself, you need to get this testing at the Allergy doctor's place.

It depends on your skin type, but having dry skin, I really like a bath drawn with Honey and Almond butter.  It's pretty thick, but it will disolve and you can rub it into your skin while your in the tub.

do not use any lotion not even water based.  this is very bad.  yeast infection, itching.  do something differnt.  stay away from lotion.

The best way (I work in healthcare) is to use the tried and true method. Soap and water. Be gentle, you do not want to open the blisters. Also, do not personally come in to direct contact with the blisters or affected area. Wear gloves.

Use salt, it doesn't go away as fast.  Just poor some in your hands and rub it on your wet skin.

Stay away from certain cough and cold medicines, mouth washes, tonics, sauces, vinegars,and any alcohol that may be absorbed through your skin from after-shave lotions, liniments, and other skin products.\n\nI really couldnt find a list of foods with hidden alcohol concentrates. Anything with high vinegar amounts you should stay away from.

There is a product called PureWorks that may be able to help. It is a new product specificly designed to kill bacteria and viruses for hours. It is put on the skin to prevent illness and infection. This contains no alcohol so it will not sting at all or dry the skin.\n\nIf there is bacteria on the skin, which a rash it, this will kill it, and leave your skin very nice. I use it all the time. You can look at the product here and buy it. I would suggest the lotion because that contains the germ killing/prevening agent but contains skin improving formula as well.\nhttp://www.mypureworks.com/distributors/gn/Default.aspx

Saline solution is just a rinse for contacts.  Multipurpose solution cleans and is good for soaking and rinsing.

Throw it out, now!!!!  You are obviously having a dangerous reaction to the product.\n\nCheck with your doctor on something that would be less intrusive.\n\nBest of luck!

I want you to get yourself - F.A.S.T. to a  Skin Specialist! Steroids are so,so, dangerous to take continually and it appears they are not working. I do not wish to alarm you, but I believe you have a  "strep" virus. This virus, if it invades your blood stream can/and has killed. My mother had the same symptoms as you have. Is it itchy? I bet it is. They treated my mother with steroids and prednisone - but this "virus" entered her blood stream and after 4-days in a coma, God took my mother HOME. Get a handle on this "rash" NOW. It could be the "flesh eating disease", which has been in our countries/hospitals for over 20-years. A test is simple - it is called a "culture and sensitivity" - swabs will be taken of the infection and cultured and allowed to grow for a minimum of 48-hr, then the Bacteriologist will test different antibiotics for the most effective. Get this TEST right away! and don't put this off. A prolonged use of steroids will effect your health in many Negative ways. Good Luck and take my advice.

Only isotonic saline is used, that is 0.9% Sodium CHloride solution.  This is what the human body is made of almost entirely.  A hypertonic or hypotonic solution such as sugar water or plain water would cause the cells to rupture and disintegrate.  This is also why if you get water on an open wound it burns whereas if someone washed the wound with normal saline, it would not.

Hi there,\n\nWe have to use 'distilled' water for medical preparations.\n\nHere's why-\nNormal water contains salts like sodium chloride, calcium and magnesium salts and when we use the same kind of water in medical preparations, the chemicals in the medicines are likely to react with the salts in water. Also, if there are any physical impurities in ordinary water, it is not safe for medical preparations.\n\nHope this solved your query. If not, please let me kno and I'll be glad to assist you further. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

Go to a dermatologist.

i doubt that it can be good 4 the skin it actually dries it out\ncause osmosis causes a lower concentration 2 move into a higher concentration so the blood fuid will move into the sugar solution and the cells will dry out\nits lik a hypertonic solution

If possible, avoid anyone with an obvious infection, especially if there's a discharge, cough,etc. There are disinfectant hand lotions. Wipe areas that may be contaminated with alcohol. Be \nsure to clean thoroughly.

Keep a record of not only what you eat but what you bath  with. My skin is very sensitive and my skin breaks out in a rash only in certain spots. It turned out to be the facial scrub I was using!! If you break out check your record to see if something new has been added or a change in products that you normally use.
