Turkeygirl Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 in the form of a rash on my hands and it is a pain let me tell you. I'm normally not allergic to anything but if I come in contact with a cheap brand of soap or detergent, I usually get hives or a rash. Well my mom got this hand soap at Walmart and guess what, it dried out my hands really bad and then gave my a red rash all over the top of them. I alternates between being itchy and really sore. I've been putting hand cream and vaseline on and bug bite cream, it's rediculous. Of course then did I remember this happened once before awhile ago with the same hand soap I think. My mom did notice it dried her hands out so she quit using it, but not to the extent of what my hands are like. As a baby I always had rashes anyway,lol So if any of you have read the Book of Job in the Bible, well I feel somewhat like Job right now,lol. My hands are funny and scary at the same time like I have a rare disease, but maybe that is what picking up sheds does to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archerjg Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Re: So I had this allergic reaction.... I have the same problem I have to be careful which detergents that the clothes are washed in. Benadryl works wonders and with me I get a two hour nap after taking benadryl. Archerjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Re: So I had this allergic reaction.... Have a lot of problems with the skin on my hands getting dried out and cracking. Vaseline has a lotion that is water resistant, and is very effective at helping with dryness. I use it, and helps a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Re: So I had this allergic reaction.... Maybe you have psoriasis and certain products sets it off. I do. My hands broke out really bad a few years ago, and the doctor had me on all kinds of creams that didn't seem to be working. I finally bought myself some Vitamin E oil and gave my hands a good rub-dow with that every day. I took a while, but it got it under control. But if it is an allergy, I would suggest Benadryl too. It should make it subside, if it is an allergy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
