I am in Canada, and I have this itchy skin and painful inside.

Hello Venus,

I'm not sure what you mean when you say your skin is painful inside. Aside from itchy skin, do your muscles and joints ache too?

If you're at a point where your skin rashes are painful, you should see a doctor as soon as possible to rule out other causes.

Usually, when people suffer from skin rashes it's due to an allergic reaction to something they came in contact with. Or it's a yeast overgrowth condition.

What I usually recommend is for those folks who have extra sensitive skin and constantly suffer from skin rashes is the Skin Dr.

This homeopathic supplement is safe and effective and helps strengthen the body's immunity so your skin won't over-react when exposed to normal allergens..... Whether it's a certain laundry detergent or bug bites that sends your skin into overdrive, Skin Dr. can help reduce those reactions.

I hope this information has helped you.....

Eczema Causes

Eczema, a very itchy skin condition that causes red, swollen, sometimes scale-like splotches, particularly on the flexor side of joints, is very common in infants and children seems to be a skin expression of food sensitivities.

If you or your child has eczema, you may find it worthwhile to see an allergist for a skin prick allergy test, and possibly for a check for celiac sprue (allergy to gluten).

In addition to the very important suggestions in list 1 above, here are some ideas to eliminate eczema.
