Does the skin rash associated with Fifth Disease burn? What other rashes burn and look like this? |
Hi, off-and-on for about 3 months I've had deep red/purple patches that come and go on my face and they burn very badly. I've tried everything from aloe, to moisturizer (thinking it might be dry skin), even Cortaid in case it was some sort of eczema (I have eczema on other parts of my body too). No doctor has been able to give me an answer as to what it is -- on doctor said it was probably something allergic, like hives (I'm a very allergic person), and the other said it could be anything from rosacea to a tumor in my intestines!!! It's also only on my cheeks and the patches are anywhere from the side of a deck of cards to the size of a dime. Thanks for any help! That picture looks like rosacea to me. My younger daughter gets it. When my older daughter was young she had Fifths disease, twice! Once we were in Connecticut with my mom in hospice. One of mom's friends, a well respected diagnostician, freaked out over the rash and said the girls shouldn't come see grandma anymore...My sister lives in CT. She took the girls and gave the a bubble bath. this caused more differ net rashes. We went to sister's skin doctor who was the head of the Academy of Dermatology and was one of those doc's who related really well. He looked at the three of us and said that we have an extra fold <who ever noticed> under the eyes which is an indicator of future skin problems. |
