Is this an allergic reaction? Dermatitis? Eczema?

Question

I recently got these bumps all over my upper body.... chest, arms, forehead, ears, chin. Both hands and fingers have blisters. The palm blister on my left hand seems to be growing. This started about 1-2 weeks ago but it's getting severe. Maybe I'm newly allergic to detergent? My body wash? I have no idea. I have plans to see a dermatologist soon but for now I'll post at 1am (est) because I am itching real bad. And this happened once I laid down to sleep (the itching) my comforters aren't new, neiher is my detergent that I have been using for months!

I also forgot to mention that my scalp is also itchy and I feel bumps! My shampoo has been the same for years (head & shoulders bc other shampoos gives me dandruff)

Also, I noticed that my private area is a bit itchy too but I've always been clean down there and never had itch unless I shaved/waxed!

PS, my lips/mouth is not affected

I'm recently going through some stomach pain... started a couple days ago. Bloated, hunger like pain in stomach, constipation. Waiting to go away on its own but if it doesn't I'll be seeing a doctor soon.

Does anyone know what might be going on??

One more thing I want to add, lower body is not affected AS BAD but I am noticing little bumps too (different from razor bumps)

Answer

I've had similar rashes, once from a stomach virus I caught from a friend's kid (never affected my stomach though!) - that one was all over my entire body, scalp to soles of my feet, it started on my chest and spread outward; and once from excema, though that wasn't on as much of my body.

You can also develop an allergy to pretty much anything at any time. I know someone go just became allergic to coconut, and had to get rid of all her bath products as well as lots of foods.

Answer

I randomly became allergic to everything, my shampoo,body wash,soap,laundry detergent and lotion. Had to do free and clear everything.....it sucks and would itch something fierce!!

Answer

You can take a benadryl and apply hydrocortisone cream in the meanwhile. I had similar bumps that were eczema on my hands only though from washing a lot with anti bac soap. I don't use anti bac products anymore. Just free and clear

Answer

Don't totally rule out detergent. My sister had an allergic reaction to hers with a rash everywhere and it was the same stuff she always bought and it never bothered her before. Not saying your situation is the same only saying some times allergic reactions can come out of nowhere. But going to the dermatologist is a great idea. If you can't wait that long just go to a walk in clinic and maybe they can give you something for the itching in the mean time.
