Thank you, I will look into this. I have some stuff to post and when I do I’ll ping the list to this and the stuff I’ll post. Not enough time, too much to do, too little energy!
My sweetheart has been having horrible skin problems since November. It is a systemic body wide rash that is more like a chemical burn. It starts with itching and burning skin, then also gets swollen and peels, sheds skin like you would if you had been severely burned. He also has thermoregulation issues and cannot stay warm. He has swollen lymph nodes, some almost as big as a golf ball. We spent most of April in the hospital. After getting no answers from the 3rd dermatologist we have seen, I took him to the ER because he was so sick. They ended up admitting him and he tested positive for MSSA Staph infection in his blood. Doctors have been trying to “rule out” cancer so he has had a needle lymph node biopsy and several skin biopsies that did not show cancer.
We believe it is a reaction to the topical cortisone creams and oral and injectable steroids prescribed to him over the last year for skin reactions to antibiotics. Doctors do NOT want to acknowledge it because cortisone is like candy to them. Here is a documentary about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuaBbsL1qKA
Has anyone ever had skin issues after using topical steroid cream?
