I've been really worried about these itchy rashes that have come back again on my body, and I'm not sure why they're happening. A while back, I had rashes on my face and scalp, and after seeing a local doctor, I found out I had a high IGE level of 930. The meds seemed to help back then, and my rashes went away, but now they're back even though my IGE level is down to 330. I stumbled upon something online about Staphylococcus aureus possibly being the cause, and on top of all this, I'm dealing with digestion problems. I'm really confused and would love some guidance to figure out what's going on. Could these issues be connected, or am I looking in the wrong direction?

Staphylococcus aureus is a type of bacteria commonly found on the skin and in the nose, which can cause infections, including skin conditions like atopic dermatitis, eczema, and impetigo; given your history of recurring itchy rashes, high IgE levels, and digestion problems, it's possible that S. aureus is contributing to your symptoms, especially since S. aureus can produce toxins that exacerbate skin conditions and may also be linked to gut health issues; consult a dermatologist or an allergist to discuss

View allI think I might have a staph infection. It's looking kind of purple and there's this big red spot around it, and it's pretty painful. Should I have it checked out?
Staph infections can range from minor skin problems to life-threatening conditions, so it's crucial to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Your healthcare provider may perform a physical exam, take a sample of the infected area, or order imaging tests to confirm the diagnosis. If left untreated, staph infections can lead to serious complications, such as sepsis, a life-threatening condition that occurs when the infection spreads to your bloodstream.

Yes ,u can use laboderm Oc ointment since it has anti-inflammatory property, any side-effects stop the medication and dermatologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been using Patchex tablets and Mel Bild solution for the past two months to deal with my patches. While Mel Bild seems to work on the existing patches, I've noticed that new ones keep popping up. Is this normal, or should I be worried about something else going on? What should I do next?
It seems like the current treatment is not fully effective in preventing the formation of new patches. I recommend adding a topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol cream to help reduce inflammation and prevent the development of new patches. Apply a thin layer of Clobetasol cream on the affected areas once daily for 4 weeks, then gradually taper off.
