Okay, so I've had a re-occurring skin rash/hives on my arms, stomach, and legs since early Saturday morning.
When I first woke up with it, my arms were beet red and covered in hives along with a lot of my body. I immediately took 2 benadryl applied some anti-itch stuff and was able to go back to sleep. When I woke up, I was much better. I went to work and had very few issues. When I got home, I started breaking out again...not as bad, but still all over. Once again, I took benadryl and went to bed. I once again woke up with the rashes mostly gone. After getting the rashes again, I went to a clinic. They looked at me, told me I was having an allergic reaction to something, gave me a steriod shot and prescribed and anti-histamine. I took it and they mostly went away again. Now, it's midnight and they're back....mostly on my arms, stomach and chest.
I've already washed my bedding, I'm wearing different clothes, I haven't used any new detergent, I changed the soap I was using in the shower, and haven't really eaten anything unusual lately. I've never had a problem with food in the first place. The most exotic thing I've eat in the past couple days were some fried plantains. I hung out with my girlfriend on Friday night...we went and shot pool and watched a movie together. She said the only thing different she had done was use a new hair product.
I also buy merchandise from the public 5 days a week...mostly books, magazines and records.
Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated
