[Jessicrawrr]

It could be ecxema, don't scratch it, maybe go to the doctors or something if it persists.

[rokgal]

Rub some Vaseline or sudo cream in?

[rokgal]

Alergic reaction perhaps?

[Nemo]

Either eczema or allergic reaction as said, if its eczema then stop itching it nowwwwwww, and buy some seven7 cream (http://www.healthtoyou.ca/images/seven_combo.jpg). That'll do it some wonders.

If its an allergic reaction, track back to what you've eaten and see if theres anything new.


Or it could be both, an allergic reaction that has aggravated any eczema that you did have, eg. too much dairy or sweets.

well i did have some homemade spring rolls.. never noticed i have a realy red itchy spot n my chest

well i did have some homemade spring rolls..
Well if you havent eaten them before then it could be something in them

no i havent had the homemade onces before.. they were in this kind of sauce thing.. could be that as im nto alergic to the vegetables in them

It could be anything, best to go to the doctors if it dont go down in a few days, i use E45 on my eczema when it gets bad, but not all eczema looks like that, none of mine ever does.

find out what was in the sauce then try each of the ingredients.. If you die or get a rash again then you're allergic :O

Maybe go for a shower and use body wash without a smell if you get me lol? Make sure you wash all the soap off and if the itching still persists go and see your GP, they're the best person for the job :)

If it persists. Fill a bath full of warm water and put quarter cap full of bleach in and soak for 15 mins.

BLEACH?! I wouldn't recommend that to be honest, bleach smells and it doesn't do anything good to my skin if I don't wash it off. I'd probably say a bath full of warm water and then some salt.

I read somewhere the other weak that formula is a common tip for when treating children with skin irritations

If you did that, your skin would burn off, and if some went in your mouth, well thats another story!

Just run down to the shop and get some E45, sudocream or any other baby soothing cream :)

that's some medical study on eczema. They still aren't gonna tell you to pour bleach into your bath

it's most probably a rash brought on from an allergic reaction. just don't itch it and put on some soothing cream. if it persists go and see a Doctor.

If it's excema then see a chinese herbalist asap! I saw one who prescribed some herbs in easy to take capsules and the problem went completely within a couple of weeks (had it much worse than what it sounds like you have).

The creams GP's tend to prescribe surpress the excema which means it will just show up again a few days after you stop using it, and I've heard it's bad for your liver and kidneys. The herbs basically push it the opposite way so it will make it worse while you take it but it solves the problem permanently unless you make it come back by other means such as diet.

[rokgal]

eww my clothes are irritating it

[Narnat,]

I'm going to suggest that you go and see a doctor. My cousin had the same thing and it was due to an allergic reaction. Normally you wont blister as such but it will come out in red blotches and be itchy. Your much better to be safe than sorry.

[Hushy]

i'd defo go to the doctor, best thing for it. they will probably just give you some cream for it but it will still help.

And remember dont scratch it :P
