Rash

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Westerville, OH

I have a small rash on my wrist, it is bumpy and itchy. I have not changed anything like detergent, soaps,etc. I was wondering if this is going on with anyone with FM or do anyone knows this is part or this crazy disease?

Members confirmed that unexplained rashes and intense itching can be part of fibromyalgia, sharing experiences that ranged from small bumps that blister to hive-like welts, recurring shingles, and itchy skin that flares before a major symptom spike. Several members mentioned practical relief strategies, including cocoa butter for itching and recognizing environmental triggers like shopping centers that seem to worsen symptoms. A recurring theme was surprise at how much more than pain fibromyalgia involves, with members offering reassurance to go with the flow as the body changes.

I get rashes on my arms and legs. That will itch and I use Coco butter on them to help with the itching. Also my scalp will itch before a major flair.

Yes. It seems it's part of the disease. My skin started doing the same 3 or 4 years ago. Nothing I've tried relieves it for long. Sometimes I can go a few weeks without it and my skin clears up. It's so incredibly itchy. Sometimes it's little bumps that become blisters and sometimes it's long welts like hives. Mine flares up in shopping centres.
