How To Treat Skin Rashes In Hands And Arms Due To IBS?
For the past two weeks I have been suffering from IBS which has lead to a skin rash developed starting from my hands leading to my arms and currently through my body. I also suffer from arthoritis. I do not as I know have ad any food allergy in the past. I have lived in US and now I am staying for a short while in Canada.Would you be able to hel as I do not understand all the various web pages I visit.
I can understand your concern for skin rashes in hands and arms. There can be multiple possibilities of the red rashes and it requires a close physical examination to diagnose the exact entity of the problem.
In my view correlating with the facts you have provided it appears to be either urticaria (or hives) or allergic dermatitis of the area due to multiple causes.
I suggest you to meet a dermatologist to for proper therapy. In between you should avoid contact of dust to the area properly. If I were your dermatologist then presumptively would have preferred to apply fluticasone with mupirocin cream. You can take an antihistamine such as loratadine for twice a day if itching is present.
Do not try to pinch, pop or squeeze the area as it may cause secondary infection of the area.
All the best
