Question: Does any one have advise on skin therapy and treatment for Erythema Annulare Centrifiguum? I would use Luxiq, Eucerin, and Sarna. I'd like to avoid Luxiq as much as possible, I was wondering if you have any alternative, natural treatments during flare-ups.

Answer: No treatment is usually needed as they usually go away anywhere from months to years. The lesions may last from anywhere between 4 weeks to 34 years with an average duration of 11 months. If there is an underlying disease then by treating and removing the disease it will stop the lesions. It usually doesn't require treatment, but topical corticosteroids may be helpful[6] in reducing redness, swelling and itchiness. Some supported and not supported methods of having an effect on EAC include: Photosensitive so it can be moved/reduced with appropriate sunlight (beware as it easy to have too much sunlight and cause sunburn). Vitamin D Immune system - hence it will increase in size/number when the immune system is low or overloaded. Hormone Drugs Disulone Topical calcipotriol - a topical vitamin D derivative has been known to be beneficial

Question: How long does erythema last? Hi My mum has had a bad reaction to some acne treatment cream (freederm gel) and it has resulted in two very bad rashes on her face (cheeks)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythema If it is caused by acne treatment, then how long will it take before it clears up? She has an antibotic cream and calamine lotion to help.

Answer: If the erythema appeared soon after the acne treatment, then most likely your mom is having contact dermatitis due to the application of that acne cream. So as soon as your mom stop the use of that cream, the rashes will clear up in few days depends of the severity and secondary lession following the rashes. No need to apply antibiotic cream if there is no infection or errosion. Calamine lotion just help to soothe and reduce itchiness.

Question: Does any of your infants develop a kind of rash called Erythema toxicum? But my baby only develops this rash only recently, in her 6 weeks.

Answer: The rash usually appears within 1 to 2 days after birth, and often goes away on its own within about a week. No one knows the cause of ETN — no bacteria or viruses are found in the rash area. Even the pus-like fluid that is sometimes found in the rash contains only harmless blood cells. It is not contagious, does not require any medical treatment, and goes away on its own. ETN is not associated with any other health problems, and a child with the rash feels completely well. Again, because it is harmless, ETN doesn't require medical treatment. Follow your doctor's guidelines for your baby's normal skin care.

Most of the symptoms led him to believe that I have Erythema Nodosum. Have y'all ever suffered with this? How was it treated? What brought it on, and has it gone away...or is it still reoccurring? For me it first appeared a few weeks after I had my son. It has since come and gone 4 times...he is now 10 months old.

I haven't been receiving any of my contacts questions via e-mail, until now AND it's like 2 days late. <LOL> To answer your question... I am not familiar with this. We manufacture compression socks where I work though... not sure if it would help you. :0) .

Question: what could cause "diffuse erythema" in my lower esophagus and how should I treat it? For over two years I've experienced a daily irritation/itching/nausea feeling from inside my abdomen as well as fatigue, sneezing and a general chilliness feeling, even in warm weather. A recent endoscopy shows that I have "diffuse erythema" in my lower esophagus, however, I don't experience any of the typical symptoms of esophagitis, which are heartburn and dysphagia. The sensation that I feel makes me want (if it were possible) to itch all around the inside of my abdomen. Also, taking deep breaths in general feels very uncomfortable. I recently quit smoking, which seems to make the condition worse, however, I had to quit due to an intolerable sensation that I'd feel immediately upon smoking. Another remote possibility as to the cause of this is it might be an allergic reaction to taking a prescription med Lamictal over a year ago. It could also be a very strange withdrawl symptom to quitting smoking. Any help would be great as well as anyone experiencing anything similar.

Answer: The term "diffuse erythema" means widely spread redness. The redness could be caused by capillary congestion, usually do to dilatation of the superficial capillaries from some nervous mechanism within the body or inflammation. I doubt it would be an allergic reaction to something taken over a year ago. The MD that did your scope couldn't figure anything out? Maybe check with another internist, particularly a gastroenterologist... Good luck...

Question: Hello: I would like to know if anyone has been diagnosed with erythema nodosum? I was diagnosed with erythema nodosum and wondered if anyone out there has it. Also, I was born premature and wondered if the erythema nodosum could be related somehow. My rheumetologist told me that it was because of taking anti depressants. Then another told me that it didn't have anything to do with it. I get tired so easily could that be from the erythema nodosum? Thanks

Question: Yesterday I was told I had Erythema Nodosum? I have the red bulges under my skin in the shins of my legs, like diagnosed they are very painful, I was just wondering if these lumps will continue to arise / flare up every now and again or more often or not at all? Thanks

Answer: The bumps hurt much more if you knock them so move around carefully, they can also itch but hurt afterwards if you scratch them. My doc prescribed some steroid cream which I used a few times when the itching got too bad. After a few weeks the bumps went away and haven't come back years later. They didn't leave any marks, I just wore trousers or long skirts to prevent everyone asking questions and because I felt well carried on life as usual.
