i looked at tincups aca rashes. I have a rash that comes and goes.

It started in my hands and is like the third picture. It is in splotches and is red.

My problem is it is on my stomach and has gone to my feet. It not only hurts on the outside of my skinbut deep in the tissue.

When you touch it it hurts but i know it is weird but it is like it is deep in my body hurt.

I could deal with it on my hands but i already had trouble walking but it is even worse now that it is on the insole of my foor.

I have also found a cyst right below my ribs that just started.

Any ideas? i would be greatful because i am in even more pain with the rash.

Hey nc...

Sorry to hear your rash is painful. Have you had it checked by a dematologist yet?

I don't think the rash in that picture is painful. BUT.. if someone had shingles THAT would be painful... and deep from what I understand.

OR...

If there was some neuropathy underneath that could explain the pain. I wish I had a better answer.. but right now my suggestion would be to get it checked out by a doctor. It could be viral, or anything really.

I just don't want you guessing.. or us guessing.. especially if you are in pain and waiting for answers.

I hope it is better soon.

Ditto on Tincup's suggestion to make sure it is not viral in origin. Recently my husband had a new rash pop up. We thought it was just another Lyme and co. rash, but it turned out to be shingles. It is treated with an anti-viral drug, such as Valtrex. It can also signal that viruses are a factor that must be addressed.

Not saying that this is the cause of your rash--just something to rule out.

Hope you find an answer soon!
