eczema contagious
What skin condition would a doctor prescribe Fluocinonide Cream for?
My dermatologist prescribed Fluocinonide cream for my skin rash (for which the diagnosis, I cannot remember the name of) and I’m trying to figure it out to look it up. It’s not eczema, psoriasis…etc. It was two words – or one really long word – the first word starting with a “C,” and the second with an, “R” . Any ideas what the name of it is?
**If it helps: it is not contagious, it is a reaction to some virus he claims I must have caught, itching is bare minimal, and it is often mistaken for fungus.
Hi,
CHEMICAL NAME
CORTICOSTEROIDS.
INDICATIONS
Fluocinonide-(CORTICOSTEROIDS) is used to treat swelling, inflammation, and itching of skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, rashes, insect bites, poison ivy, allergies and other irritations. Corticosteroids for the skin are available in different strengths and forms (e.g., creams, ointments, lotions and gels). The type of medication used depends on the location of your condition and the type of skin problem being treated. Creams are the most frequently used form. Lotions and gels may be better suited to hairy areas. Ointments may be better suited for dry areas and when a stronger effect or skin protection is desired.

Sounds like the skin reactions that I was having two to three years ago. At the time I was having urticaria allergic reactions to foods and my own sweat and who knows what other toxins, that would then promote fungal infections from my weakened immune system. I eventually learned to make the right organic nutritional choices that allowed my immune system and organs to rebuild and get stronger.
IF YI – my own skin-urticaria issues have cost about $2,500 in the last three years to learn what I now know – which is that ALL skin diseases are strongly related to one’s micro-nutrition and/or toxic absorption and/or hygiene and/or parasites.
My allergic reactions continually cause small water blisters along with skin fevers and itches and then rashes and then long term scaling. When my malady was at its worst – I used to have allergic itches to my own sweat that I was burning off after showering or during exercise or when parts of my body got hot – during a time in my life when I used to have considerable toxins stored within my body fat and ‘very’ weakened immune and filter systems.
Monistat_7 and Desenex are moist-area anti-fungals and Monistat_Derm and Head_&_Shoulders are also anti-fungals, but you really need to see an MD and do more internet research to better understand how difficult it is for an MD to diagnose serious skin maladies. Use meds that are prescribed in a very minimal way so that your body’s immune system’s and skin/ organs can repair and grow stronger, which will then prevent reoccurrences in the future.
Since when I was an asthmatic teen and could not use deodorants without rashing up, my life long triggers have taught me to use hypo-allergenic non-perfumed soaps in a minimal way and to sometimes powder different portions of my body with cornstarch to help minimize yeast infections; especially whenever my micro-nutritional absorption within my gut has been less than was necessary to adequately repair my body’s immune system, organs, and skin on a daily basis.
Even though I might not have answered your question as ‘specifically’ as you may have wanted, to help you with simple and concise information on ALL itch rash illnesses and for short and long term solutions to them ALL – the following link has considerable info within a ‘report’ I recently posted on Y_A:
<> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091113104039AAbnGet <>
The report at qid=20091113104039AAbnGet is an accumulation of my own investigations into itch rash illnesses that are due to my own non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, even though I have a fairly low BMI of 26.
I eventually learned that itching or rashes are symptoms of maladies that could become much worse if not healed with better non-toxic and more ‘dense’ micro-nutritional choices. Since doctors were not very helpful and it ‘almost’ took too long to learn what I now try to teach others, I now take a little time each week to help others understand the need for non-toxic and ‘adequate’ micro-nutritional absorption in the gut AND for good hygiene – which will then prevent or minimize every ‘dis-ease’ I am aware of.
Finally, because I am not an MD who could diagnose you ‘personally,’ I feel I should add that although I have seen that most root problems for ’skin’ issues for myself and others has usually ‘always’ been from long and or short term allergic reactions to ’something’ or poor hygiene COMBINED WITH a weakened lymph liver kidney skin and immune systems – IF the following symptoms would ever occur – I ‘think’ the worst rash one might possibly have quickly acquired is from deadly bacterial meningitis, ALTHOUGH bacterial meningitis would be VERY RARE.
The two quotes below are from: <> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_Meningitis <>
<>
“IF a rash is present, it may indicate a particular cause of meningitis; for instance, meningitis caused by meningococcal bacteria may be accompanied by a characteristic rash.”
<>
<>
“The MOST common symptoms of meningitis are headache and neck stiffness associated with fever, confusion or altered consciousness, vomiting, and an inability to tolerate light (photophobia) or loud noises (phonophobia). SOMETIMES, especially in small children, only nonspecific symptoms may be present, such as irritability and drowsiness.”

I truly truly hope that what you might rapidly learn in the next few minutes will help you to decide on the correct choices that will remedy your painful malady in the future.
My best to you and yours,
