Is this eczema?

[Anonymous]

I’ve been having these sort of rashes when the weather changes from cold to warm, they are dry, flakey and itchy. This year I broke out the worst as in rash wise, I had it in 4 areas, my leg, my upper thigh, my arm, some bumps on my hands and my back. I didn’t go into the doc cause I was convinced it was just a heat rash or eczema. Never been diagnosed so I don’t know for sure. The sites are healing up, but I’m just curious as to what this might be?

The pics are my leg and my arm, not all sites. That the rash is on are listed. I’d say the one on my leg is pretty bad, but it’s healing.

I’m out on insurance, and yeah I probably should’ve went to the doctor. But I’ve been having these “flare ups” when the weather changes from spring to summer. I had one on my chest last year it went away eventually.

I lost my job in march and my insurance ended in April and they needed 100$ upfront to get checked out.

America is so shitty, so greedy. I am a healthcare worker too.

It looks like a sweat or heat rash caused by changes in temperature.
The bubbling on your arm does look like a bad reaction but I'm not seeing anything sinister.
I'd recommend trying hydrocortisone 1% cream as well as a moisturizer such as Aveeno cream or cetraben or epimax which should help with the red irritated skin

Welcome to the club... must be going around... I use Cortisone to stop the itching, AND I am going to make an appointment to see a Dermatologist.

Cortisone 1% may help a lot. Try that if you cannot get in to see an MD.

I’m heading to urgent care rn I got worried, I don’t care how much the bill will cost

P. S. Your best bet is to do what you said... go to Urgent Care... Let me no on a DM what you found, as I have not gone to a Dermatologist as of yet. Curious to know what Urgent Care tells you

Top one looks like psoriasis. Bottom one looks like some kind of skin disease

That’s what I was thinking too, but thank you!

Why are you asking this on GaG. Ask a health professional. For fucks sake use Google or ChatGPT over GaG for health, but ideally see a doctor.

you should go to a doctor

I tried to go to urgent care but they denied me cause I had to pay 100$ upfront.

[Asker]

I don’t have 100$, I was out on work and went through every penny I had.

its so sadd
Maybe you can find something cheaper at the pharmacy.

[Asker]

Right? American healthcare is so shitty.

And yes I got some hydrocortisone hopefully that’ll heal it.

[Asker]

But thank you for your advice! :)

I hope you get better
You're welcome
