Really sensitive skin- please help!?

Question

First i thought it was excema, but now i'm not so sure. i have this cream which i put onto the affected areas, it goes away or reduces slightly and then it just comes back again! In the crooks of my arms, the inside of my thighs, the back of my shins, and now my hands and stomach are constantly red and itchy. also on the back of my shins i get small bumps which sometimes have small amounts of fluid that come out, and are of course really itchy.

i don't use any soaps and have stopped wearing polyester because i thought they might be the problem. my skin is also gets really itchy at night in bed. do you think i could be allergic to cotton, or some kind of food? please help, i think it's getting worse!

Answer 2

It really seems like eczema--all the symptoms you describe are the same ones I have.  I have to usually use a prescription steroid cream to get rid of it.  I was told that it gets worse in the winter because of the heat being turned on indoors and not enough humidity to counter it.  I do not think that it is an allergy to food or cotton, because it would be all over your body or in random places every time.  The areas you describe are typical eczema spots.  After a shower, when your skin is still wet, try applying body oil to your skin and just let it sit there before you pat it dry.  It has reduced my eczema and the itching quite a bit, because it helps the skin retain moisture.

Sounds like allergies, you could get tested to find out for sure. In the mean time use benedryl and vicks vapor rub on the rash.
