Hi people, need a little help here. I started to develop skin allergy since last year and I think it was after my 2nd hepatitis B vaccination. I'm not exactly sure if that's the cause of the allergy but it's getting pretty serious nowadays. I don't have any discomfort or fever. What I'm suffering from now is actually skin rashes and allergy. It's like I've been bitten by some insects or mosquitoes, and could not heal that fast. Also, it's very itchy. I went to dermatologist for a few times and she gave me steroid cream to apply. It did help but not for long. I'm currently trying chinese medicine. Anyone has any experience such as this? Is it cured? If yes, how did you do it? Thanks!

Yeah i had some skin problems before. Mon wouldn't bring me to a dermatologist to i had to endure few months until it got worse. I was feeling a little depressed because of it because i don't want to go out of the house. I got mad at my mom which prompted and forced her to bring me to a dermatologist. It's her money, that's why so don't wonder why i needed her. lol! Well the dermatologist gave me this cream "Betamethasone" and a table with a generic name of "Doxycycline". I noticed a lot of changes since applying the cream and now it's gone without leaving a trace. Until now i think the cream is miraculous! lol!

I've tried Fucicort on a couple of occasions but it's just steroid and will not give me the permanent cure I'm looking for. The tablets I have are meant to control the itchiness. Again, not a long term solution.

Thanks for the BR daydreamer though i doubt if i was able to help you but i'm pretty you'll get well soon. Dermatologists are more sophisticated now so i'm pretty sure they'll find a solution for your skin problem.

Hmm???.... that's a difficult Question, but I Can Try.... Actually I'm born with a Skin Decease Called Psoriasis, It's A genetic decease that Runs in The Family mostly, And Also means That Skin cells is developing Quickly,leaving Sort of red spots On the Skin Surface.... If this Ain't Cured They Will develop Fast, Start 2 Get Thick on Skin And get itchy... The best cure for my Psoriasis, Is These following: 1: Pills... 2: Swimming in the Salty Ocean and Then sunbath... 3: Elica Cream...etc.. So, my advice For you is that You consult A physician first, diagnose What Kind of Skin Allergy/ Rashes You've Got, and Buy The product That The physician is recommending and See If it's Working........ good Luck...

Salty ocean is pretty far from the place I'm currently based at. LOL. My physicians gave me a lot of different medications before, but none of them is helping much.
