Red/yellow rubbery skin, psoriasis, eczema or ?
So my body appears to be red, inflamed with a yellowish tinge and rashes at neck where I used to wear probably a nickel containing chain, with red skin welts at wrists from battery and or charging ports. If I wear these I now cover with painters tape. Also dealing with beginning stages of lymphedema swelling mostly waist down, packing on the pounds despite being petite 125ish pounds with bloating, etc.
Are any of you experiencing hard rubbery skin, that is reddish yellow? My hands get especially red so I don’t know if it’s my soap at home or soap and water where I work. I’ve changed to brass keys and titanium grade nickel free key ring.
Also wondering if acupuncture or needles used for iv treatments or drawing blood are causing this? If yes, what do you think was the culprit for you? Also have low iron/ferritin, recently had two iron infusions.
Truly at a loss. Giving up grains have been harder than giving up chocolate.
I’ve quit wearing all jewelry including my titanium wedding ring.
Bought boa free plastic yeti yonder water bottles from REI and Amazon. These bottles are great and don’t leak.
Installed the WaterDrop x12 reverse osmosis sink water filter.
Will install Sante Health dual shower filter head.
