Skin Rash. Could it be a vitamin Def.?

I have my 6week check up this Friday, but thought I would ask if anyone has had a skin problem from possible vit. def.? I have little red very itchy patches with tiny little blisters that are arranged circular..some spots are just rough, slightly rised and and round and itchy as can be..on my chest and back..What else could it be???

PS: I take two Flintstone Vitamins, one B-12 and a calcium chew every day. Would Iron def cause a rash?

Janet ... remember my post with the same problem??? I had SHINGLES!! Mine started with an itchy spot on my back, then little patches which after it started full force covered half of my right shoulder and right around my breast and chest. Its been almost 2 weeks now and its better, but not well at all. My skin was and is sensitive, too. Look this up on line. Write me back!! Crystal

Hi Crystal! Yes, I do remember..and I had a rash then too, but this is not getting better. What did you put on it to help with the itch..it's driving me NUTS! I looked up Shingles on line and yes, it does sound much like the problem I have..I've never had this problem before..guess our immune systems are down right now..I'm glad I have a doc appt on the 10th..Do they usually draw blood at the 6 weeks checkup? How are you doing? write me via email!!!

I found this fantastic journal on OH..has a lot of nutrition info..

Janet... My name is Mike.. I am in Fort Mill too.... Have read your profile and just want to let you know, I hope the rash is better soon and you find out what is causing it... Much luck on your journey... I am sure you will do well.... Mike

Hi Mike! I went to the doctor yesterday for my 6 week check up and he didn't seem concerned about the rash, which ofcourse is about to clear up..funny how I seem to make mountains out of mole hills these days. HA. So far so good with me..I thought I would have some labs done but it will be in 3 months.. I got an iron presciption yesterday, tho'. I hope it gives me some more energy! It's great to find a fellow Fortmillian on here! I read your profile. Wow, what a time you've had! I'm glad you updated your profile so I know you are doing well now. Take Care!
