I am sunburned on various areas of my body, taken Benadryl with no results yet?

I am almost 62, 5’6, 230lbs. I was at beach until three days ago and did get sunburned on various areas of my body. This morning I woke up with pain between my ankle and mid calf on the inside of my right leg. This area was very red with heat. By mid morning the pain, redness, and heat had increased. Along with swelling in one area and a raised rash that had spread to just below knee. No itching involved. Pain is localized to one area. I have taken Benadryl with no results yet.

I have athlete’s foot on the hands and feet or eczema?

I am a 15 year old female and I’m not sure if what I have is athlete’s foot on the hands and feet or eczema.It first started about 2-3 weeks ago.
Currently, I have tiny itchy blisters(with a clear inside)everywhere on my hands except the back of the hands(not including the fingers),and the first joints of the front of each finger and thumb(where you usually grab things with).The most concentrated blisters are located on my palm, the sides of my fingers and the back of the fingers, mostly on the back of the upper two joints of the fingers, stopping just before the nail.These areas aren’t red. Once I scratched a part, and it became red.
I also currently a similar condition on my feet.The right feet has faint blisters, on the left side of it.The blisters, however, are not clear like the blisters on my hand. My left foot has had athletes foot between the 2nd and 3rd, 3rd and 4th, and 4th and 5th toes, which has been cured by antifungal cream. My left foot, currently, has light peeling skin on the light red rash(wih small blisters like my right foot) on the sole of the foot. It has not been itchy, unlike my hands. There has also been a slight peeling of skin just below the toes

I have used different types of antifungal cream (such as bifonazole, clobetasol propionate ointmnet, and currently micronazoli nitras), however, with no results on my hands.
I am allergic to crab and prawn, and may have something called heat hives.

I think I’m having an allergic reaction to my tattoos and piercings?

Female Age: 19.
Preexisting conditions: type one diabetes, asthma, Oral allergy syndrome.

Medications: Allegra 1 SID, Benadryl 5mls TID, albuterol as needed, humalog/insulin as needed (basal rate 1.45 units/hour)

When I was younger I was allergic to just about everything. Now I suffer from Pollen allergy syndrome and I have fairly bad seasonal allergies. Fast forward to today.. three months ago I got my first tattoo! It’s beautiful and healed wonderfully. I got him the night of and noticed 7 hives on my legs.( never had any hives on the tattoo itself) Immediately I thought I was having an allergic reaction to the ink so I gave myself 5mg of Benadryl liquid and a 24-hour Allegra. I contacted my artist and he gave me the list of ingredients in my ink which was just carbon pigment, water and witch hazel. Well I made an appointment with my allergist and he said that the tattoo looked great and that I wasn’t allergic to the tattoo itself but the process. He said that I would most likely get this reaction if I got another tattoo, piercing, or even child birth. He explained that my immune system just needed time to reset itself. See, I had a mysterious bout of hives when I was 13 and we couldn’t figure out why but it was around the time I got my ears pierced so it made sense! They eventually went away. Well, it’s been three months and I’m still battling with hives! If I try to get off of my Allegra, it’s no more than a week before I get a few hives here and there. They freak me out, as I have particular anxiety about allergic reactions and would like to know how long it will take for these hives and itchiness to subside! Is it normal for me to have these hives for three months? I need some reassurance!

Thank you!

My 6 year old son started getting this rash around his left eye, it is growing rapidly?

My 6 year old son started getting this rash around his left eye. We took him to his pediatrician and advised us to use elidel cream. After 2 weeks, it was not showing any signs of going away. Last week my wife took him back in. This time she wanted us to try an antifungal cream. We started using that. My wife just sent me a pic and it has grown rapidly! Any suggestions on what this could be?

I had rash, covered my whole stomach, now it is on my neck?

I’m 21, with no history of allergies or skin conditions. About six months ago, I had gotten the first rash I’ve ever had. As I irritated it with scratching it eventually covered my whole stomach, and was scale-y feeling. After some time it went away.

Currently, I’m having the same problem. This time it’s my collar bone/neck. A few days ago it itched, and now it’s getting larger and has the same scale y texture.

I wear the same necklace everyday, and it shouldn’t be contact dermatitis from that. The rash is only in one small area and I have no metal allergies and I’ve worn this jewelry for quite some time.

What is it, and how can i prevent this issue? It only itches occaisonally, and it’s not painful or inflamed. Theres no “gunk” crust, or gross discharge of any kind.

My 19 month old son has a rash on belly migrating down towards legs?

My son has has this rash for going on 3-4 weeks now. He has no other symptoms other than a runny nose off and on, no fever what so ever. It does itch, but it’s manageable I think. He is almost 19 months old. It is mostly on his thighs and belly, but has also migrated slowly down his leg and on his left arm. I have taken him to the doctor twice. First they gave him a steroid cream and we used it for almost 2 weeks. Next they gave him a fungal cream we have been using since Tuesday with no relief.
