Annoying Rash That Won't Go Away

I don't know what kind of rash I have but it will not go away. What do you do to help with rashes. I've been told oatmeal but that makes it worse. I use cream but that hasn't helped.

Try and figure out what is giving you the rash. Does it wax and wane or is it constant? Do some foods seem to make it worse? Look for correlations. Sometimes keeping a diary helps. Have you tried OT cortisone creams? Things like calamine?

Hi,

  I'm new to Celiac, only 13 months since diagnosed, but I had a rash in the shape of a ring on my leg that just wouldn't go away no matter what I tried. Went to Doc, she prescribed Triamcinolone Acedtonide Ointment USP 0.1% (Walmart $4) to be applied twice/day. It's like hydrocordozone only stronger. Twice a day for a month didn't do it, so I put in on 4x/day & it's almost gone.  Definitely works; I would go see your Dr. Hope this helps

Seems like I read that Lyme disease makes a ring like rash.  Did they test you for that?

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
