If that doesn't work I'll keep the yeast in mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mystery-rash-1#post-2557593 Thu, 26 May 2016 18:43:15 +0000 jmarionsmith 2557593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had something very similar happen a couple of weeks ago. My dermatologist also diagnosed me with rosacea, which was no surprise to me, I'm pretty much always red faced. But the flare up was being caused by a yeast overgrowth. Since yours is itchy (mine was more painful than itchy) I would might ask the dr about that. If it is yeast you'll need a prescription shampoo to wash your face with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mystery-rash-1#post-2557504 Thu, 26 May 2016 17:10:22 +0000 kiddosc 2557504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The doctor thinks it's rosacea. It makes sense with some flushing flare ups I've had in the past, but I never would have connected the two. He prescribed an antibiotic gel that will hopefully help it clear up. It's a chronic condition though, I hope this doesn't start happening often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mystery-rash-1#post-2556581 Wed, 25 May 2016 18:14:20 +0000 JMOM 2556581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: I hope you get feeling better soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mystery-rash-1#post-2556579 Wed, 25 May 2016 18:11:59 +0000 gotkimchi 2556579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: ahh ok! I hope it clears up soon for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mystery-rash-1#post-2556578 Wed, 25 May 2016 18:10:02 +0000 kiddosc 2556578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: I did do one dose last night. I just didn't want to keep taking it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mystery-rash-1#post-2556573 Wed, 25 May 2016 18:06:04 +0000 gotkimchi 2556573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is your supply established? If so I wouldn't worry about taking 1 dose. Or you could try a Claritin or Zyrtec before bed although that won't be as strong to help with the rash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mystery-rash-1#post-2556565 Wed, 25 May 2016 17:46:54 +0000 kiddosc 2556565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: ugh, I'm nursing and don't want to take benadryl. I'm worried about affecting supply. </p> <p>@mauxie: I hope it's not. It's only on my face though. </p> <p> @JMOM: I've only been outside in our yard. So I don't think poison ivy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mystery-rash-1#post-2556419 Wed, 25 May 2016 14:59:13 +0000 mauxie 2556419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could it possibly be shingles? Hope you get well soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mystery-rash-1#post-2556418 Wed, 25 May 2016 14:59:11 +0000 gotkimchi 2556418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this once with no cause we ever found. Diagnosed as atopic dermatitis - treated with Benadryl, prednisone, and an antibiotic just in case </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mystery-rash-1#post-2556415 Wed, 25 May 2016 14:56:59 +0000 JMOM 2556415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poison ivy? Once I had it on my ear and it went to my face very quickly. I couldn't figure out what it was and the doctor said it was infantigo, but I realized within a couple days it was poison ivy when it started itching, spreading and weeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mystery-rash-1#post-2556315 Wed, 25 May 2016 13:38:13 +0000 kiddosc 2556315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Yep, only on my face. Both cheeks and forehead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mystery-rash-1#post-2556310 Wed, 25 May 2016 13:35:24 +0000 Mamaof2 2556310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: its only on your face?</p> <p>My first thought was chicken pox but I have no idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mystery-rash-1#post-2556309 Wed, 25 May 2016 13:34:36 +0000 kiddosc 2556309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone seen something like this before? It popped up overnight. I don't have any acne, that's all the rash. I can't get in to see a doctor until tomorrow. It's a little itchy, but otherwise doesn't bother me. I used a new mascara a few days ago, but can't think of any other causes. </p> [attach=1439/16/o7qwxo.337x600.20160525_132348.jpg]
