Heartache. . . Ehhh, My heart is hurting right now. So I have these blister breakout things all over my hands and feet (which isn't surprising because I've had it before, as eczema runs in my family and the breakouts are usually caused by that) but this time the breakouts are ridiculous! Its ALL over my hands and feet and some of them hurt really bad at times. My mother called my dermatologist and my allergist, both of them said pet hair could/can cause a breakout or make a breakout worst. ;_________; We are going to the dermatologist on monday morning and we are going to try and schedule an appointment with the allergist sometime next week. If Cody is the cause/making it worst my mother says we have to rehome him. I probably cried two times since she told me that an hour ago. I sure hope this isn't because of him. |
Aw...I am so sorry. I definitely understand skin issues. My husband has psoriasis, and it is BAD. It is all over his body and nothing can be done. He can't sleep, he ruins shirts because he rips open and bleeds all over. It is heartbreaking and nothing can be done. Nothing cures it and in his case it is so bad that nothing has worked. So, I understand. I really hope your fur baby is not the problem. |

I have scars all over from open sores and this breakout is just a new addition to my many problems with eczema. We are all sooo hoping its in Cody, my whole family loves him :( Thank-you! |
Have you ever found any cream to give you relief from eczema? I too have had it for years, but have finally found something that works, and can even still be around the allergen if I keep it minimal. I bet there are ways to fix this. |

lets hope it can be controlled by meds so you don't have to part with your family member! Mary & Mia |
I'm so sorry you are suffering like this. I truly hope that you can find something to help you and your baby won't have to move. |

I've also been told that this type of reaction can be caused my heat. Lets hope its that and not Cody. Thanks so much everyone! |
So sorry you are going through this. I've been on the same meds, and what works for one may or may not work for another. I really think it would be unusual for hair to cause a breakout. It may make it worse, but I doubt very much that Cody is the root to your problem. |
I'm so sorry to hear this :( I hope everything works out for the better. I couldnt imagine going through something like that. |
Our Sunday paper carries a small article that is written by a Dr. and last Sunday the subject was exzema. A person wrote in and said their friend had it so bad it hurt to look at it so they told them to try cod liver oil...I think it said 1 TBSP. a day. The next time they saw their friend the exzema was gone...the cod liver oil fixed it from the inside out instead of trying to fix it from the surface. The Dr. agreed with using the cod liver oil. I don't have exzema but I might give it a try just to see how it does for my skin overall instead of using lotion. Oh, my Mom says it isn't as bad as it used to be...you can buy it flavored now :) |
Ouch, sounds painful. Hope you can find something for some relief, and keep your baby too!! |
I hope you don't have to give your baby up. My dt has bad eczema and steroid cremes help some but not completely. My husband has bad Psorasis where he bleeds all the time but I don't think the dog hair affects either of them. Hope you can clear up the skin issues. |
Im so sorry to hear that :( *hugs* |
Oh Dani! :( I pray for you. Know how bad you loves Cody!! |

I'm sorry that you are going through this :( I am crossing my fingers that your dermatologist can rule out Cody as the cause... |
My DH has it pretty bad too. Tried feeding him coconut oil and applying it topically... worked better than anything he's tried so far. He's given up on prescription stuff, more a waste of money than anything. Add Psoratic Arthritis, diabetes, HBP, Gout, and depression! Praying it's not your pup! |
Okay everyone I went to my dermatologist and my allergist this week and I am very happy to announce it isn't Cody, actually both of them doubt its Cody at all, especially since this has only ever happened once to me and I've had Cody since November. I am allergic to the grass and pollen so my allergist said that it may or may not be the fact that I may be touching the grass, the fact that shoes track in the stuff and so does Cody when he comes from outside, also could just come from leaving the door open or from my clothes when I come from outside. My best bet is to stay from outside, wear gloves if needed, and stuff like that. Dog didn't show up in my allergy test so that is cleared :D I'm also on clobetasol propionate, which he says is the strongest medicine they have, and so far I haven't been on it a week and I see results (hopefully it will all be cleared by the time school starts up) as instead of being blisters they are bright red eye sores lol |
If your parents have Medical coverage for a Naturopath or Homeopath, try that route out as well. There is also yoga. Yes I know it sounds weird. But if you have closeby an Iyengar Yoga Studio with licensed teachers they may be able to help you with a practice geared to your condition. I'm so happy to hear your pup is not the cause |
It is aweful for the skin issues but thankfully not your baby that is at fault...:thumbup: |

One thing that has really helped my son and I with our various allergies - is to run one of those air purifiers at night in our bedrooms. I wake up a lot less stuffy if I run the air cleaner. AND the 'white noise' sound helps me fall asleep. Glad it wasn't your pup causing your problems. |
SO it sounds like if you litter box train your baby and can you spray some on him when he does come in to limit the pollen and such? I think there is some hope here!!! |
Glad to hear its not because of your pup :) |
