What Causes Rashes With Redness And Little Bumps?

Hi, I ve been getting various skin rashes or irritations. It is new to the past year or so, I am 50 and going through menopause, I also have seasonal allergies to grass, dust and ragweed (not too severe, just annoying.) The rashes have appeared around my eyes and eyelid and around my nose and occasionally on my chin. little bumps and redness and on my neck. My neck will get red and hot feeling or have roundish dry itchy patches that come and go. This has been going on for several months with things coming and going s then I think its gone and comes back. Any ideas? I also have a dog.

Hi,

You seem to suffer from atopic dermatitis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

You know most of the allergens which are responsible for the disease. In addition I would say that dog hairs can cause the skin allergy. So, you should avoid the contact with dig hairs. Better is not to keep the dog in your home.

Take oral steroids in a tapering dose whenever the problem is a serious one. Otherwise, take antihistaminics like Desloratadine till you get relief from itching. Apply mild steroid cream on the lesions. Avoid contact with suspected allergens.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel,
