So about a year ago I developed an extremely itchy rash below my navel where the metal button from my jeans lays...
The doctor claims I am allergic to the metal and should cover it with clear nail polish so it doesn't touch my skin. I've done this and it doesn't seem to help. The doctor also gave me creams to try which did help..But only temporarily...I am 18 and how could a rash ALL OF A SUDDEN just show up? I'm thinking I'm "out of alignment" with something? It has spread to the back of my knees and around my neck..It used to be all over my arms but seems to have went away....I'm thinking that I "just need to stop itching" and it will go away after it has been healed up for a while. But it's EXTREMELY hard. Sometimes I don't even know I'm scratching it. But obviously the "bumps" or "rashes" are a result of my scratching...
A couple months ago I had to take some steroids with some Allegra to clear up an allergic reaction I was having to some antibiotics (steroids increase the affect of the Allegra I guess) I was taking for a bladder infection and during that two week period of taking the steroids with the Allegra, my scratching had stopped and all my rashes were undetectable unless closely examined. But after those two weeks, it started itching again...Sometimes I think I do it when I get nervous. But then sometimes it just itches out of nowhere...Maybe 'cause it's healing???
If ANYONE has any suggestions, homeopathy, acupressure, energy work, etc..PLEASE do not hesitate to comment!! My boyfriend is a message therapist and knows a GREAT deal about the body so whatever techniques or advice anyone gives, I'm sure we could figure out how to work with it.....THANK YOU!! =)
