Sorry for your husband, but I doubt you'll get better advice here than from a dermatologist. Go to a third one.

The quality of doctors does vary.

Thanks. I was not hoping that someone here shared this awful experience so much as the solution for it! He's going to a Health Science Center doc next week. Our allergist was president of the allergy doc's group last year.

I don't know. I'm always amazed at the number of professionals in all fields who frequent Free Republic -- and not just the ones who stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night! :-)

I would look into the possibility of yeast or Candida. Google Candida. Normally, this is a girl problem, but more and more men are being affected by this.
Someone mentioned tea tree oil. That has helped many people. I also know of several people who have been helped by virgin coconut oil. They sell coconut oil at Wal-mart, but it needs to be as unprocessed as possible so I don't recommend getting it from there, but a health food/ whole food store would have it. You may also have some success with aloe. Finally, I would highly recommend an Omega 3 fatty acid supplement gotten from a reputable health food store (not GNC). It's said to be a miracle supplement.
Hope this helps.
