Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / August 2004butterfly rash...question.
What do you folks use for the rash on your face? Does anyone's rash get kind of flaky? Thank you, everyone. Penny from Michigan I don't use anything for the rash. My rash also doesn't get flaky. Other parts of my face does tho. Nicole > What do you folks use for the rash on your > face? > Does anyone's rash get kind of flaky? > Thank you, everyone. > Penny from Michigan Hello Penny I get lots of rashes on my body, besides my face. I go to a dermatologist and he prescribes betamethazone cream for me. You have to have a script for it. Higher potency steriod cream It tones the sores down and takes the pain down too. Did a dermy see you? I think that is a good question and you absolutely need to see one for sure on any rash like that. It maybe something else or infection too. good luck janers I don't have the rash on my face, but rashes elsewhere. My doc prescribed a creme called Lotrisone, which is hydrocortisone and an antifungal together. I have found that very helpful. My brother also has lupus, and he has bad facial rashes. He gets quite a bit of help from Nizoral, another antifungal. I am curious as to how the application of sunscreens effects you lupies with facial rashes. Does sunscreen make the rashes burn, or exacerbate them? mair > Hello Penny > I get lots of rashes on my body, besides my face.

Also the coppertone sunscreen I use has a moisturizer in it and it seems to help also. Mair, I use sunscreen on my facial rash, and it doesn't seem to bother me at all. To me Eucerin feels greasy as a hand cream. Aquaphor was given to my husband during his radiation therapy. My sister was given Aquaphor by her doctor when he removed a "spot" from her face. I've found it very soothing on scrapes, scratches or dry spots. Bev > >What do you folks use for the rash on your > >face?

And ... ecsema too which is little dots like. Mayo made me a special batch to put on my face which contain hydrocotison and 3 other ingredients. Can not remember. Since then, I have found it cheaper to use elavil for the ecsema and the 1% over the counter hydrocortisone. It just comes and goes and flares with or without Lupus. Seems to be all thrown together. Hugs and Howdy! Always, cloud > >What do you folks use for the rash on your > >face? > >Does anyone's rash get kind of flaky? > >Thank you, everyone. > >Penny from Michigan |
