Codeine rash photo

31F. About a week ago I had some bumps develop on my neck. They looked somewhat like cystic acne but felt different - they were a bit itchy and hurt if I squeezed them. I tried taking allergy meds and applying hydrocortisone 1% thinking it was hives, but it didn’t help. I switched today to polysporin after 5 days of hydrocortisone in case it is bacterial but I’m not confident. Currently, there are more bumps than when I started, but they are smaller, no longer painful or itchy except one, and sort of look like they’re healing except that they’re still red and more plentiful than when I started. The rash isn’t anywhere except the front of my throat. Any ideas what it could be? I’ll try to add a photo to the comments

Does anyone else often wish their skin looked better today when they see old photos of their acne (from a few months ago) and remember those moments when it was "so bad"? Haha. Obviously thats because of my skincare routine so far expensive, inexpensive etc which includes trets and azelaic acids (the lowest strength) from highstreetpharma, Cetaphil and LRP, cerave moisturisers and la roche posay spf but CeraVe makes my face break out in rash sometimes. Every time I look back, I catch myself thinking, "Wow, I'd kill to have only three pimples right now." I simply had to share!

This morning I noticed this rash type thing on my testicles, haven’t engaged in sexual activity in over 2 years, so pretty sure it’s not std. what could it be? Photos:
https://ibb.co/rb4v7FM https://ibb.co/BP0SSZX

I am 23 y/o F, H: 5' 2", W: 145 lbs, Race: South asian, currently living in US.
cc: experiencing red, circular, raised, itchy rash, warm to touch mainly on my legs. REFERENCE PHOTO
These rashes first appeared when I traveled to South Asia last summer. I woke up with chunky rashes all over my thighs and shins. You could see each individual bumps, they didn't all mesh together into one huge mass. They were circular but not perfectly. About 1inch in diameter. I used a very strong steroid to cope with the itching. As the rashes healed, they became blue bruises and then left small dark scars on my legs. It took about 2 wks for them to clear up.
After coming back to US, I had 1 flare up of these rashes about 4 months ago. Same in appearance and healing time as the initial rashes.
1 month, I started getting these rashes out of nowhere again. Same in appearance and healing time. Unlike the last 2 episodes of these rashes, where I would about 10 bumps all at once and they would go away within 2 wks, this time, I keep getting 2-3 new rashes every other day. Right now, I only have this one big rash at the back of my right knee ( SEE HERE ) and 2 small ones on my ankles that are almost done healing. It's extremely itchy and hot. The one behind my knee is SO RED. I have never seen any of these rashes look THIS red so it's kind of scaring me.
Also, noting that most of my rashes have only been on my legs. Except for the current episode that started 1 month ago, I got some on my lower back-upper buttock area and 1 bump on my arm.
Please help me figure out what might be going on. By the time, I manage to get any derm appt, the rashes go away and I always end up consulting the docs on the scars rather than the active episodes.
I do not drink/smoke/do drugs. Don't have any severe food allergies that I know of. I have gotten allergy tested before for ~30 allergens and nothing causes me hives. I haven't been spending time outdoor where I can attribute these rashes to bug bites. I haven't used any new cosmetics or eaten anything new. Nothing foreign in my environment that I can note.

I have been experiencing perioral dermatitis for the better part of a year and I thought that I should share my experience and my *current* remission, including the process of which I *healed* my perioral dermatitis.
Presentation:
I presented with a rash that was very red and bumpy around the perioral region, including the nasolabial folds, the tip of the nose (with only redness), the sides of my chin, and just under my nose on the philtrum.
The rash itself was very red, bumpy, and itchy. It felt as if I had a severe sunburn and felt raw, as if I had been blowing my nose for a week straight.
The rash began one day after using a new vitamin C serum, but I believe this is also when I was trialing nasal steroids for post-nasal drip. I can't remember exactly.
Diagnosis/Treatment process:
I initially felt that the use of betametasone (topical steroid) would help the rash and I had some on hand, as I believed it was an irritant reaction to the new vitamin C serum I had used (or that it burned my skin). The steroids temporarily resolved the rash. I discontinued the new vitamin C serum (and nasal steroids, as I didn't like them), but the rash returned. At this point, I knew it was perioral dermatitis and the steroids weren't a good course of action, so I discontinued this too unless it was extremely irritated to temporarily relieve the burning/ripping sensation.
I then saw a dermatologist, who agreed with me that this was perioral dermatitis. I was advised to discontinue the topical steroids and to refrain from heavy moisturizers, which I had already done, but the rash persisted.
I work at an allergy clinic and decided to complete cosmetic patch testing to identify any potential contact allergens. Patch testing identified formaldehyde, propylene glycol, linalool, and gallates, of which are in almost every cosmetic I own.
I researched new cosmetics that I can use (as I am very into skin care) and found new cosmetics that were allergen free and safe for me to use, including my shampoo and conditioner(s), with the help of incidecoder.com (awesome website to find cosmetics free of specific ingredients).
The perioral rash resolved and the bumps, itchiness, and ripping sensation resolved after a week of my new skincare regimen. The redness slowly went down and it was as if everything was resolving.
After a month or two, the rash came back (though not as bad). I then decided to switch my toothpaste to a fluoride-free (and also SLS free by chance). This resolved the rash again, and it did not persist.
I did some work on a car part (that involved sanding, wearing a respirator, etc)., and my rash came back. I am also very allergic to thiuram, and I suspect that the mask had thiuram in it (also allergic to the epoxy in the clear coat, so that might have also played a role).
At this point, the rash was only really redness (which never really fully resolved) and a dehydration line in the nasolabial folds, but I did not have any itching, burning, or any visible bumps.
Over time, the rash subsided again. Except, now, every time I apply skin care (even ones I am not allergic to), I develop pin-sized red bumps all over the perioral region that look like tiny pimples (white top), though unpoppable. However, this occurs immediately after application of some skin care products (though not consistent; sometimes my cleanser, sometimes toner, sometimes moisturizer, etc), and then resolves within 30 minutes. This suggests to me that it is an irritant dermatitis and not an allergic reaction to my cosmetics.
Currently, I hypothesized that my previous perioral dermatitis, due to allergic reaction, fluoride, steroids, and/or thiuram, etc., compromised my skin barrier and I am now dealing with an irritant dermatitis.
I have removed all actives from my skincare regimen (was exfoliating every few days/twice weekly), removed treatment serums (i.e., THD ascorbate/vitamin C, niacinamide, etc), and decided to focus on repairing my skin barrier.
My current skincare regimen:

1. Farmacy/Clean it Zero cleansing balm (at night)
2. Dermalogica ultracalming cleanser (at night)
3. Anua heartleaf 77 soothing toner (morning and night)
4. Skin 1004 Hyalu-cica hydrating serum (morning and night)
5. Skin 1004 centella ampoule (morning and night)
6. Peter thomas roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Rich Barrier Moisturizer (morning and night)
7. Supergoop Unseen screen (morning)
8. A thin layer of penaten diaper rash cream all over the nasolabial folds, cheeks, and chin area (at night).

Following this regimen, I have had a full remission of my rash, including the redness and the dehydration lines are beginning to subside. I have been on this regimen for just under a week now.
Moral of the story,

1. Remove fluoride, steroids, and the common perioral dermatitis triggers from regimen.
2. Check for contact allergens. Almost all "hypoallergenic" or "allergen-free" products that I have found contain my allergens, as propylene glycol is not a common "allergen" in cosmetics.
3. Focus on repairing skin barrier and hydration.
4. Apply zinc barrier cream at night and/or in the morning if rash is particularly bad.

It may also be helpful to investigate for nutrient deficiencies. During this time, I also had dry, flakey skin (especially over my forehead/eyebrows) that I had considered was as fungal reaction; however, it was resistant to both moisturization and topical clotrimazole (anti-fungal cream). I was then found to be extremely vitamin D deficient, and the dryness/flaking went away with regular vitamin D supplementation!
Photos:
1-2. When my rash was its most symptomatic

1. Cut out allergens, rash was beginning to settle.
   
2. Rash gone, but left with extremely dry and flakey skin.
   
3. Rash/irritant dermatitis immediately following application of any skin care product
   
4. My skin 5 minutes ago, with a skincare regimen focused on barrier repair, void of known contact allergens, and applying zinc barrier cream at night time.
   

I hope that this may be of benefit to someone!

If you're interested in baby registry boxes but don't know which one to try or how to even sign up for them I have some info for you here! I got boxes/bags from Target, Walmart, Amazon, Hey Milestone, Babylist, and Similac and I'm still waiting for a box from Enfamil. I'm not an influencer or someone paid by these companies I just really like surprise boxes of stuff. I have pictures but I don't know how to add them. Anyway onto the lists.
Target:
How to get: This appears to have changed recently. According to target.com you join the Target Circle rewards, create a baby registry, add 10 items, and spend $10 from registry (either yourself of someone else). You have to pick up the bag in store with a barcode they give to you and it can be somewhat difficult to get since supplies are limited. When I did this in March all I had to do was create a registry and then go to the store to pick up the bag.

1 Philips Avent Natural Bottle
1 Dr Browns Anti-Colic Bottle
3 pack sample of Huggies Special Delivery Diapers

How to Get: Sign up for a registry at Walmart. Click this link https://walmart.cesampling.com/babybox/soldout and fill out the form and it would be shipped to you for free. Unfortunately these boxes have been sold out since last year but maybe they will restock. I only got one because my OB’s office gave it to me at my first appointment.

Hey Milestone:
How to Get: Hey Milestone is not a registry. They make three different baby boxes you can choose from and you just pay shipping. If you’re considering multiple boxes it’s best to get them all at once because the shipping will be cheaper. Shipping for one was $12.99.

Add three items from other stores (you can do this by putting a plug-in from the website on Chrome or Firefox. More detailed instructions on the website).

How to get:
Sign up for Enfamil Beginnings at https://www.enfamil.com/baby-formula-coupons-samples/ . It’s completely free. I do recommend using an email you rarely use and don’t put in your phone number. I’m still waiting on my Wonder Box to come. They tend to ship close to your due date so I may get it soon.
Overall thoughts: I enjoyed the fun of going through the boxes to see what I got. The Walmart one is no great loss to anyone not able to get one. I was disappointed with the Amazon one because I expected it to be a bit better based on what others had gotten. Plus I didn’t get the Dude Wipes people were getting and I was looking forward to them lol. The Babylist box was the best of the bunch, which is good considering the hoops you have to jump through to get it. Hey Milestone was great for the butt paste and bottle alone. I was also really pleased with the Target bag. These are just the things I got and each box/bag may be different.

Not sure how I can better describe it. For the past week or so, since last weekend definitely, I've just been really sore and stiff with hip inflammation and lower back pain. I was taking a shower today and my wife mentioned it looks like I have some kind of rash/bruising on my lower back/hips on both sides. It looks like a bruise but not painful to the touch. No trauma to the area. Should I be concerned?

DESPERATE FOR ADVICE**For about 3 months now my relative (50f) has been going through a weird reaction that doctors haven’t been able to diagnose, and since Canada has been experiencing a dr shortage, it’s been tough to get an answer. I would like to preface by saying throughout this experience she has cut out alcohol and reduced her diet quite a bit. She was diagnosed with asthma in her teen years, but otherwise has no other known conditions. Unfortunately I do not have any photos, I was just hoping that maybe someone has an idea of what could help.
It began with: • a seemingly “normal” ever infection, pink eye symptoms in both eyes She was then prescribed antibiotic eye drops, which made the eye infection worse she had an allergic reaction to the prescribed eye drops Which resulted in: •teary eyes, “crystal” like things coming out, and damage to her vision She was then prescribed a less “harsh” eye drop which helped a bit, but vision never returned to normal. ( luckily at recent eye appointment, she was told that the minor vision loss does not seem permanent, and they also suspected that it may have been triggered by an allergic reaction)
Alongside these symptoms she began experiencing persistent a facial rash: • painful dermatitis like. Peeling/ “dry” skin. Inflamed/ red
We suspect some it is some sort of immune response or potential underlying automation disorder. I know this post may read as a bit vague, nonetheless, if you have any advice or idea, please help and let me know.

So basically herpespics is atually only for swabbed confirmed OBs, all reddit subs have disabled the ability to ask. I get some weird rashes at rare occasions that I'm very curious to if they are HSV related or something else. I posted some photos of this in the scabies sub because once when I had them a doctor thought it was scabies. If you clicks my profile you can probably find the post that I made somewhere (THis was on arms and leg).
Basically they are flat rashes kind of wide and linear with small red dots on them, while I do get raised bumps often here and there these are generally not raised however. Do you guys ever get something like this? And also where can I post pics?

Good evening,
I'm a 29M. For over 10 years now, I’ve been having this allergy from sun exposure. Unfortunately, the pictures only show the rash/redness/dryness and not the actual problem which are the pimples/bubbles. The white bits are the effect of scratching it due to the itchiness it causes. When the dryness heals a bit, I'll try to upload updated photos of the actual allergy pimples I'm talking about.
In the beginning, it typically starts as small pimples/bubbles on the hand and back/side neck. When I was younger, it would spread starting from the elbow up until the hand, due to mostly wearing t-shirts back then, but nowadays, I mostly wear suits and long sleeve shirts due to the nature of my work and daily lifestyle, so it doesn’t spread on the arms anymore.
Doctors would always prescribe creams/ointments containing cortisone and others that calm the allergy down, such as Alfacort, Perderm, Cortiderm, Elica, and Dermapanthen Panthenol Cream. They do work in calming the allergy and healing it over time, but still, because I get exposed to the sunlight on a daily basis while driving and going to different locations, it eventually comes back. The redness will go away, but the pimples/bubbles do not go away easily, and if they go away, they typically come back.
Wearing white gloves and sun protection while driving isn't very effective. I noticed that It doesn't completely prevent the allergy from resurfacing, it just delays the recurrence of it.
I would appreciate any advise on this and if there's a permanent cure instead of applying creams and ointments for the rest of my life. I know someone who took Medrol (Methylprednisolone) tablets and no longer gets the allergy, but when I mentioned this during my most recent visit to the doctor, he said these won't help.
Thank you, and please feel free to ask me any question if you need any info or clarification.
