What Causes Outbreak Of Itchy Rashes On Legs And Hands?
I have been using Trident gum for several years as I am on medication that causes dry month - the
Fresh Mint flavor. I have developed a skin rash on my legs, arms, and hands. I have been using
Betaderm Liquid Gels 6 per day from yesterday and Betaderm ointment on legs, arms and hands
2X a day. I am beside myself with itch and I am wondering weather it could be from the Aspartame
in the gum? P.S. I chew the gum at least a package a day.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of outbreak of itchy rashes on legs and hands. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like angiomas , seborrheic keratosis , allergic , eczema , psoriasis , warts , chickenpox or scabies. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order blood test , allergy test along with skin patch test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or antiviral depending upon the diagnosis along with anti inflammatory , corticosteroid ointment , crotamiton or ivermectin . For now apply cold compresses , do not apply any cosmetic product and protect your skin from direct sunlight .
