   skin allergies? (Allergies board)

12th March 2003
My 52 year old husband with no chronic health problems except for some stomach discomfort from heartburn, has for the past 4 months been suffering from skin rashes that are intensely itchy. The lesions appear just about everywhere, forearms, shoulders, thighs, and trunk. He wakes up at night not being able to sleep from the itchiness. He has been to several docs. One said food allergy and gave him a shot of Kenalog, another said bacterial infection and gave him cephalexxion and prednisone, another said scabies, and went through the cream insecticide, and yet another said folliculitus. Everyday, alsmost, new little bumps appear, almost like a bug bite. Then he can't help but sratch. Most topicals don't help allieviate the itchiness. They are extremely itchy. No new foods were taken, although we had taken in a cat a few months before all this started. His job is in construction at the job site where they build new homes. There are also woods in back of the homes being built. It is very fustrating. Please post any feedback. It will be very appreciated. He's never been allergic to milk or wheat products, and he now eats oatmeal and milk every morning. I know I'm grabbing at straws, but He needs relief. Sorry for being so long-winded!
Thanks in advance for all your comments.
