Can rashes be caused by mold and mildew?
Patient: The area we live in has much mold & mildew on a ll the homes. I have a few spots (rash type) that no matter what i put on it I cant get rid of it. Have tried Triamcinolone acetonide cream, Nystatin, Betamethasone Dipropionate cream & several over counter creams, clotrimazol & such. Nothing works.I can go out of town a couple or 3 days & it clears up. has t? o have something to do with mold or mildew. Any suggestions at all much appreciated. Thanks.....Jack 73 years of age. Doctor: hello, I also think its a ant or some bugs bite. Other posibility is developing allergy to clothing material. Did you wear a new underwear today made up of synthetic materials? Some synthetic materials in clothing are allergic to skin. So always try to use cotton underwears.     You can have antihistamine like loratidine and see whether itching and swelling subsides. allergy or bugs bite both has to subside. Hope this helps. Thank you.
