Dry Skin, Rashes With Bumps, Cream, Steroids Taken. Wife Developing Same Symptoms. Treatment Required?
I have been on the road staying in hotels for the last few months. I am from the South East and have been working on the west coast. I do have dry skin however I now have a rash with small bumps that I have had for over a month. I have been to a dermatologist and was given a cream and steriod . I am home for the holidays and now it seems that it is getting bad again, and now my wife seems to be getting the same symtoms. HELP

Hi eric,
Thanks for writing in.
The condition you are suffering can be xerotic dermatitis or scabies.
You can take tab zyrtec for itching.
Apply aloe vera lotion twice daily.
Scabies would need permethrin cream for treatment.
Hope this helps.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
