Lupus Support Group

Lupus is an auto-immune disease in which the immune system cannot distinguish between threats (like viruses and bacteria), and healthy cells and tissue. As a result, the body produces antibodies that inflict cell damage, most commonly targeting joints, skin, kidneys and the nervous system. Join the group and find support for coping with lupus.

Hi everyone! I would like to ask if anybody allergy of any lotion? Or maybe I am just alone. I guess no matter what lotion I am going to use I will itch. I first thought it was the medicine. It took long time for me to figure out. Until recently I already finally observe that when I started to put lotion on my skin I will be itching so badly that I could not resist to scratch it the part where I applied lotion so I immediately wash it and put gold bond powder then it will calm down. There are only 2 things I could apply that my skin will not itch. A baby oil or a gold bond powder.....anyone experiencing this too? Also, I think I think become allergy of peanut butter also.

I seem to be alergic to sunscreen which stinks because I am very photosensitve. My whole face went red and brokeout with pimply things within an hour of putting it on. UGLY!

The baby oil and gold bond should be enough to deal with most things but I would go to a derm if it becomes too much of a problem.

My problem is the lotion itself. I guess no matter what lotion or cream. The lotion itself or cream that makes me itch.... :-( I just use lotion for very dry skin but when I put it then it will cause rash...I guess I am just the one experiencing it. :-(

these are two compamies that i know of, you could do a google search I am sure there are many more out there. They put some awful things in lotions and cosmetics.
I hope you find something that works for you!

You’re not alone! Fragrances and preservatives in lotions can trigger skin irritation or contact allergies. I’ve learned through allergy-related experiences that identifying triggers is important. IAFA Ayurveda also shares educational resources on skin allergies. If itching continues, consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation, and get medical advice about your suspected peanut allergy.

    I am a happy person who lives life to the fullest-at every opportunity possible.  I have been plagued with allergy issues most of my life.  It started with daily headaches when smoking was allowed in the work place and seasonal bouts of laryngitis.  That eventually changed to “flu” like symptoms monthly.  My immunologist confirmed it was my allergies, not the flu bug. I have chronic sinus...

    I went to the doctor a while ago to see about my allergies. He rubbed my arm and stuck things under the skin. Nothing. He poked and prodded, his phlebotomist drew so much blood people thought that we were dating. The tests all came back negative. Then one day I went back and I told him that I had found the cause of my allergy.It turns out, I am allergic to betrayal.
