Photobucket Photobucket

This has been like this for almost 4 weeks....ive been using benedryl and finally went to urgi care last weekend and got a week of steroids and another itch medicine....its still not better so i have to get with my primary to get a referral to an allergist or dermatologist =[ In the meantime.....it's itch city....

I have sensitive skin so everything i use ive been using for a long time...no new products or foods so this is a mystery to me=[

  1. Have you had any new foods? Could be a food allergy.

  4. Maybe one of your neighbors is doing something different - burning stuff in a fire pit, trimming hedges? The only other thing I could think of was stress.

    Im not allergic to many things but a few years ago I broke out in hives on my arms and legs. I was so itchy I could cry. I ended up going to my primary doctor and everywhere she touched me I instantly got a flare up. She told me to take benadryl and take a lot of oatmeal baths and try to relax. Like you I had no change in food / lotions etc. but things were really stressful at home. In a few weeks it cleared up on its own

  5. I found homemade remedies on Ehow! One is an oatmeal bath! lol Others are Aloe gel, Chamomile Tea used to clean the affected area,

    I'm wondering if it could possibly be flea bites!

  6. A day of the hives is bad enough. But four weeks? Yikes!

  7. Doesn't look fun, I know that using different medicine creams so close together can't be helping it.

  8. could be stress? My mom has a similar condition triggered by stress. Hope it heals soon...

  9. I would like you to do some research on DYSAUTONOMIA. It is a very misdiagnosed disorder of the nervous system. I was having unexplain panic attacks among other "odd" symptoms. Such as disorientation for no reason all the blood leaving my hands and feet and my heart racing. It has a multitude of other symptoms and VERY misdiagnosed ( I cannot stress that enough ). My hands and feet would be bone white like on a corpse...this is caused by the "fight or Flight" symptom. My body did this for no reason at all. Sometimes my blood pressure will be very very low for no reason. I would look into it if I were you.
