Rash,raised itchy bumps on torso,legs,arms,scalp for 22 years,any help?

Tanning used to heal the rash,but now I’m sun sensitive. I’ve had biopsies since 17,told everything from mites,animal scabies,to live elsewhere. I’ve always had dry skin & living in WI my problems get worse in fall,winter,spring.I’ve been diagnosed with:Eczematous dermatitis,Eczema,Atopic dermatitis,& Asteatatic dermatitis,plus a nerve rash.I’ve seen numerous allergists,dermatologist nothing works that they gave me.Olux foam helps on my scalp,getting a perm used to help for awhile.I have a space guard media pleated filter system on my furnace,4 Hunter air purifiers with hepa filters.I lived in a house without forced air heating,that didn’t help at all.I would appreciate ANY help from a DR. or someone experiencing this. No one else in my family has anything like this.Please help?
I have had allergy testing done 3 times,have seen 5 dermatologists over the years had 5 biopsies done.It is NOT an allergy,nor is it psoriasis.I listed the skin conditions I’ve finally been diagnosed with in the last year.

Do air purifiers really work?

My 6mo old daughter has horrible eczema. She is allergic to dogs and we have two chihuahuas. The dander must be throughout the house, we have had them for six years. Any suggestions? My husband can’t bear to part with his "hairy children".

My 4.5 year old son has dry eczema. What helps the chronic itch?

He’s very itchy & he often gets short tempered from it. He’s allergic to dust mites,pollen,mold,rice,corn, soy, & egg. I bought a Hepa filter vacuum,encased his bedding to keep dust mites away, run air purifiers,change the furnace filter frequently,use fragrance free detergents,run clothes through a second rinse cycle,use no dryer sheets,keep baths tepid & brief, lotion with Eucerin immediately afterward, & have him wear only cotton clothes. I can honestly say NONE of this has made a difference. He starts Kindergarten in the Fall & I worry about him. How can he concentrate if he’s itchy? Keeping my child drugged on Benadryl indefinitely isn’t an option to me. I currently started him on probitotics with his allergists approval & give him 2 tsp. ground Flaxseed in his cereal every morning. I’m now trying Emu oil on him. I spend all my free time searching for answers. Has anyone found relief from dry eczema? Perhaps a Homeopathic Dr. is my next step. Thank you in advance for any help!

Can mold give you a rash?

My little girl has eczema. We had her tested her for food allergies and she has none. We have found mold in our home and are systematically removing it. We bought some HEPA air purifiers but have been told that they weren’t good quality. Can any body recommend a good air filter.
