A red raised skin rash is a harmless condition called seborrheic dermatitis or cradle cap. Tinea capitis and eczema can also cause this type of rash. A mysterious raised rash, sometimes itchy and/or painful, appearing on mostly on elbows, but also on hands, knees, forehead, and other parts of the body and is getting people worried. Dermatologists have noticed more adults and children coming in with raised rash and prescribing steroids but it does not help the condition at all. Doctors and dermatologists both are misdiagnosing the "raised rash" as eczema, psoriasis and shingles. It is not either of these skin conditions and patients are coming away frustrated. Before the rash actually breaks out it is extremely itchy in the area, depending on the area it leads some people and doctors to think it is a dry skin condition and that simply applying lotion is the answer or steroid creams. The rash may come and go, it may itch or feel like it's burning. The rash is small to medium sized bumps, red or skin colored that appear as if they could have fluid under them but the skin does not look like a blister. Once the bumps heal a light red rash can be noticed and slight purple marks where the actual bumps were that heal over time. Doctors have also been prescribing Dapasone for the "raised rash" and many patients are finding some relief from the itching, but the best relief is a change in your diet to that avoids gluten. Patients only about 20-25%, get the rash with the Celiac Disease. The skin is biopsied in-office by taking a small skin sample. Celiac blood tests are also available. Celiac disease is triggered by eating protein found in wheat, barley or rye, which cause an immune response in the small intestine when eaten. Gluten can be found in pizza crust, breads, pasta, bagels, pretzels, cereals, chips and alcoholic beverages and candy and even more food products. People with a sensitivity to gluten suffer damage over time to the inner surface of the small intestine and have an inability to absorb (malabsorption) valuable nutrients: vitamins and minerals that are needed for the body, that deprive the brain, liver, periphereal nervous system, bones and other organs that can lead to other serious complications such as osteoporosis.

Identification:
Seborrheic dermatitis, tinea capitis and eczema are similar in their appearance. Seborrheic dermatitis causes a thick crust. Yellowish colored scales also appear in greasy areas. Mild redness and itching may be present. Tinea capitis will irritate the skin causing swelling, sores and redness. Eczema usually appears during the first year of life as tiny red bumps that ooze and crust. The scalp may be itchy and is a common area for eczema.

Symptoms:
stomach pain and diarrhea, depression, some suffer from constipation, anemia, fatigue and skin conditions, severe menstrual cramping, bones and other organ problems, hormones, infertility, and joints, but you can have the disease with out any overt symptoms.

Cause:
The exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis is unknown, but hormones that are passed from the mother to the baby before birth could cause the condition. Other possible causes of seborrheic dermatitis are excess skin oil and irritation from a fungus called malessizia. Tinea capitis is known as ringworm, but ringworm does not cause the condition. A fungus called dermatophyte causes tinea capitis and poor hygiene, being African or being in daycare increases your risk of this fungus. The cause of eczema is unknown, but it seems to occur in infants with immediate family members that have eczema, asthma or allergies. Certain triggers can irritate eczema, such as dry skin, scented soaps, long baths and winter air.

Treatment:
Wash with a gentle shampoo to remove scales from seborrheic dermatitis. Use a soft brush to loosen the scales. Apply mineral oil and wrap warm, wet wash clothes an hour before shampooing. If this does not work, seborrheic dermatitis usually clears on its own. Tinea capitis is treated with antifungal medications. You can help with the eczema by giving him cool, short baths instead of long, hot baths. Use a mild fragrance free soap and then pat the area dry. Apply a liberal amount of moisturizer to prevent overdrying. he gluten-free diet is the best control of your skin rash, it will not go away immediately, after all you have been eating this way for your whole life and it will take some time to completely cleanse your system of the gluten that can be impacted in the creases of your intestines. Cleanses and detoxing can quicken your healing.

Prevention:
Seborrheic dermatitis is difficult to prevent since it has nothing to do with hygiene and it usually clears on its own within a few months. Shampooing every few days can sometimes help prevent seborrheic dermatitis from occurring. Tinea capitis can be prevented by shampooing regularly. If someone in your home is infected with tinea capitis, wash towels, clothes and shared items promptly. If your pet has a rash, make an appointment with a vet since your pet can spread tinea capitis. Eczema cannot be prevented, but you can avoid irritating the skin by keeping it moisturized and avoiding triggers that irritate. Also, have wear mittens to keep from scratching.
