As someone above mentioned it could be something hormonal. when I was between the ages of 10 and 12 I had all sorts of weird skin issues. Several different types of rashes on my arms, hands and face (treated with steroids and time). And, during that time I also had several episodes of horrible hives, one session so bad I threw up and passed out from them. They never figured out what was causing the reactions but after a while all the skin conditions settled down and I haven't had problems since. Here's hoping it's something that will clear up soon! Good luck... Ohh, I’m sorry for Chickadee. As someone above mentioned it could be something hormonal. when I was between the ages of 10 and 12 I had all sorts of weird skin issues.

I know exactly how she feels... I had a yucky itchy scaly rash for the entire months of May and June. Not fun having to wear jeans and long-sleeved t-shirts when it's 105 out. (My rash was guttate psoriasis... no chance it could be that, is there? I get it like clockwork every time I get strep throat.) I'm about 95% better now, which I attribute to going to see a homeopath who is great with any kind of autoimmune/inflammatory stuff. What she did, I can't explain, but she cured my son's eczema too. Maybe you could look into that if the derm and allergist come up empty? Oh, poor kid. I know exactly how she feels… I had a yucky itchy scaly rash for the entire months of May and June.

Stupid eczema. And I still hate taking steroids now. Stupid shoulder. Good luck with your diagnostic frustrations. I feel ya dude. I learned in j-school that I'm no supposed to say that. But here I'm pretty sure I can. I won't go into details in this public-y sort of forum, but my boss at the paper understands I have such strong opinions regarding certain physicians based on diagnostic-y sorts of experiences in this town that it qualifies as a conflict of interest and I don't cover them. I'd probably kick them in the balls if I had the opportunity. Hopefully your Fairy God-NP will figure thing out with no problems. (NP love) Good lord I hated taking steroids when I was that age.

My siblings and I (4 of us, no multiples) were born in under 4 years. We should have been plastered with hives! In my only experience with an NP, she was actually brusque with no bedside manner . . but she did figure out (in about 2 seconds flat) that my untreatable and remarkably painful ear infection, for which I'd already seen the regular doctor 3 or 4 times, was actually a sinus issue. I hope that if Chickie's rash is "systemic" , that it's one of the relatively innocuous options suggested by your prior commenters. Good luck! Hrm.
