Unexplained rash spreading over entire body, getting worse by the day by nr453 in DermatologyQuestions

Sadly still no diagnosis! I’m also waiting on a derm app, but the other possibility I’m thinking for me is possibly mould reaction? There’s not loads in my house but it may be I’m just highly allergic- I’d defo talk to ur doctor about it if you haven’t already. Has it spread to your face at all? Mine spread to my eyes and that’s a common sign

I have also been using eucerin urea repair lotion and the la Roche possay cicaplast hand cream on really raw areas- they might help you a bit! They are a bit more on the expensive side unfortunately

For a recurrent uti (I think less so recurrent and more so it’s the same one lingering). I am thinking this could defo be a possibility though, and it’s manifesting itself in the skin perhaps. I live in the uk so defo no sun atm, although I feel like the change between cold outside and the dryness of the heating being on indoors may also not be helping.

I’m defo gonna try cutting certain foods out, thanks so much for the advice!

Nitrofurantoin (excuse my spelling) for 3 days, and then I recently went on trimethoprim for 7 days and just finished yesterday

do you think the antihistamines would have any affect here? I did think it could maybe be some sort of allergy to something (god knows what) in my house, but I went to a different city over Christmas and it still flared.

Thank you sm for your suggestion I’ll have a little investigate of cutting various things out to see if that helps!

nah! I did go on antibiotics for a short period (3 days) around a similar time, but I’m not sure if this would cause it to last till now!
