Suggest Treatment For Persisting Skin Allergy

Hi doctor. My husband has since six months skin problem. It is a sort of allergy on his skin started December 2013. Always starts on his neck/shoulder area and it got spread to entire body. Stayed for a week. After trying several medicines, rinse off with diluted liquid Detol it went away. but it keeps coming back. truly about every 3 to 4 weeks after the previous time. it always starts at the neck where it started originally. Only Detol seems to help. we don t know what is causing it. we have our regular Indian food what he has been eating before everything started. please advice us.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The allergy could be to products applied to the skin, foods or drinks, environmental allergens (dust, pollen, animal dander).

He may want to consider keeping a diary to keep tract of foods and drinks consumed so that he could pin point a possible cause.
In addition he should use soaps , creams and detergents that are associated with a low risk of allergies (reduced fragrance and other chemicals).

I hope this helps
