Hi there Dorthea, I am dealing with a rash that comes and goes on my face and scalp! I have a half inch circle of dry skin on my left thigh and the same type on the back of my left arm and on left shoulder! The face is he only rash that burns! Ive been to a dermatologist for the face and the one on my leg. The face and leg appear to be 2 different issues. I was given a prescription shampoo for the face and scalp and it seemed to help for a short time. I later went to a hypoallergenic wash on my own and got some relief but only temporary! I saw my rheumy awhile back and told him I would like to have a referral back to the derm. He said that the rash looked like a yeast fungus and to try avoiding yeat products. What do ya know, I quit eating bread and things with yeast in it and I clear up for longer periods of time! I had just 2 garlic breads with a meal one night and a hamburger bun with the next days lunch and I began to burn and by evening, my face was blotchy and red scaling! I laid off the bread and yeast foods and it cleared up, I tried another sandwich the other evening and I broke out!
Not saying you have an allergy to yeast but I think that with the immune suppressants that we take , it allows for new allergies to appear! I have been a bread and butter guy with all my meals for as long as I can remember, now I cant have it apparently! I'm 58 and was raised with the bread on the table at meal time.
I would suggest watching what you are eating and consider the possibility that you may have developed an allergy to a food that you have always ate!
Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill. But since were on the way down, we might as well enjoy the ride!
