For those that get rashes - how do you document it with your doctors?

i have a horrible - im assuming heat rash - that covers my entire lower stomach under my pannus - it gets worse with exercise, and it's extremely red, inflamed and the skin is broken up and really gross. I have no desire to see a doctor but im wondering if its worth a trip to document for future panni removal through insurance. Or do I just tell them when I go (maybe take pics?)

ughhh - i feel like i should stop exercising because its very painful

My PCP is really good with talking on the phone. I just call and leave message with receptionist that I need her to call.

If you can do it over the phone thats great then you don't have to go in for the visit. Your doctor or the receptionist will tell you over the phone if its a good idea to visit or not.

sounds like a yeast infection. i get them under there all the time. sometimes if i don't take care of it quickly, the skin breaks down and is open. i use lotrimin spray on it and try to use it daily as a preventive too (sometime i run out of it so i get a new infection). the spray will sting when it hits the open area. but it goes away quickly and almost feels good (weird i know).

when it breaks open i usually use a good quality diaper rash cream over the lotrimin spray to help keep the area dry. Triple Paste is really good (expensive) and over the counter. if you go to the doctor, i would request a script for Vusion Cream. It is a diaper rash cream that is sticky as all get out and has an antifungal in it.

good luck.

I had some cultures run and it came back negative for yeast

Ive tried every anti fungal in the books and have a whole pharmacy of creams, powders, and spray - all to no avail. I guess it can't hurt though.

I think ill just get the butcher knife off and give myself a free panni removal now

I would absolutely have it recorded by your doctor for future plastics. anyone I know who has had plastics covered by health ins. had documentation from day 1 of rashes and the like. In addition to this hopefully you can get some medical relief or a referral to a doctor who specializes. Do go, you will be glad you did later. Good luck

how about using tea tree oil? i love tea tree oil! i use it for everything .... athletes foot (my husband had a horrible case when i started dating him - got rid of it) ....

when my kids would get diaper rash that looked like someone dumped a a pot of boiling water on their diaper area, i would put a ml or two in thier bath water. it would help clear up that bout and help keep away the next one.

i often put it in the tub for myself and soak to help clear up a bad case of the rashes for myself. sometimes i also put some directly on the area and it help immensly.

i buy mine at whole foods. good luck!

I just had this conversation with my doctor when I was in there on Thursday.

They didn't do any cultures, but prescribed Nystatin.

It is a powder.

I was just honest with him and said I feel like it's a severe burn and the skin is actually seeping from it. I also said the smell, even if it has been freshly cleaned is gross...I know...TMI, but it's real so we may as well put it out here for others to learn from or see others have the same issues.

I hope you feel better soon. I'm telling them everything for future use with insurance. May as well be honest and up front with it all.

Take care and just be up front and honest with the doctor...it's your body and there's no reason for you to be in pain girl....let them get you something that works.

Try Desenex anti fungal foot powder. It helps keep it dry and has anti fungal meds in it. Also, when I was pregnant and had those rashes all the time I would shower then apply hydrocortisone cream then "dust" with the Desenex. It worked like a charm and then used the Desenex every day out of the shower. I would go to the doc anyway and have it documented AND take pics for insurance purposes. Feel better!

I think anything visable to show the Doctor is good record keeping.
That is just me. I almost consider you lucky. I am going to have a hard time
convincing then I need a panni especailly if I dont have rash red evidence. I just
have hanging skin. I wish I could suggest a cream but I cannot... sorry
Hope it gets better...
