Hi. So this question is regarding my boyfriend.
For the last month, and it is still on going, he has been itching his entire body LIKE CRAZY. It's to the point where he can't sleep at night. (Currently has dishydrotic eczema on his hands and wrists) His whole body is itchy but there is no red rash or anything. He has taken Benadryl and can't even fall asleep when taking that because the itching is so bad. He's itching his thighs, arms, back, hands, and neck.
He went to the doctor and the doctor, as well as a dermatologist, said he has irritated hair follicles and they prescribed him some pills for it. A week has passed and he has seen no change in the itching, only that it's getting worse. (Used to only itch at night, but now it's all day)
We have looked up symptoms of eczema, and found that full body eczema could irritate hair follicles and cause itching. Could it be this??
He also recently got about 4 shiny blisters on his penis. As I was very concerned, since he has only had a few sexual partners whom did not have herpes, as well as I am almost positive I do not have it. I looked up images and symptoms of herpes and It does not match what he has on his penis, as he says the blisters don't really hurt or itch. i have been searching the internet to figure out what these blisters are, and found images of eczema on the penis. Eczema blisters on the penis look exactly like what my boyfriend has. His blisters are red, shiny, and the skin around his penis is a little dry. The blisters are starting to scab over a little and dry up, but not all, as some scabs got rubbed off during sex.
So overall, could his full body itching and blisters all be from eczema???
