Poison Ivy

[JanieDough]

I am not allergic to Poison Ivy - seriously - I'm not.

BUT I am allergic to something in my room apparently. I am covered in a rash!!! very similar to poison ivy. I went to the doctor and she agreed it was not poison ivy because of where the rash is and how intense it is in certain places.

I am miserable.

Physically I feel like I have taken a Benadryl even though I have not because it itches so much it wears me down.

And I forgot my "Cream" at home. So I am sitting in class wanting to itch SO BAD!!!!

I am going crazy. :willy_nilly::willy_nilly:



any suggestions? have you guys ever had this?

Whats the rash look like?

I have had it a couple of times

One time I believe some stuff was put in the washer with my clothes

When you get home try an Aveno bath and see if that helps

Both times I got it I had to get some decent prescription cream to get it to go away. Once I did that it got better pretty quickly

I feel your pain kiddo. I am allergic to poison ivy. I used to get it as a kid all the time and it will drive you crazy

the ivy would start out like a misquito bite. Only the blisters had fluid in them. miserable stuff.

it's raised and red and oozing. it's in lines and blotches. Some parts are tough and dried up now that I have been dousing myself in Caladryl.

I have been applying this Rx Cortizone. It's helping, but the Caladryl pink was so attractive....

It's mostly on my stomach and my boob, but a bit on my knee and crease of my elbow. Oh! And some on my forehead OF COURSE.

Aveeno bath! you're a genius!!!

I even have the oatmeal at home! yay!

Man I can't wait to get home...

 

[JanieDough]

omg I want to sscrape off my skin!!!

all day I feel like I want to just slip into a coma so I will stop itching!!!!

Could it be your thyroid medicine? It's pretty rare that it would cause a reaction but it's not unheard of.

 

[JanieDough]

really? even like months after I started it?

 

[AUFred]

It is a contact dermititis. Check for anything new like a different detergent. Benadryl orally but use something else topically. Oatmeal baths are good.

It can take awhile for a reaction to build up. But Fred might be on to something too. Dominic has had less severe reactions (just red bumps) to detergents, new clothes, soap, stuff like that.

 

[Alien Allen]

you could go to the pharmacy and see if they have anything else they recommend.

I only got relief when I put on some valisone which is prescription though

 

[AstriaPorta]

Hope you feel better soon and don't last long ..

When I read that I dunno why but Vaseline popped into my head. I'm like... why the hell would anyone need a prescription for Viener Schlider? Then I saw who wrote it.

Viener = wiener

These are pictures off the net, but this is what it looks like:

 

[JanieDough]

no sorry dreamer - no shingles or scabies.

it's cropping up in new places, but is reacting to the cortizone and caladryl. most the old places are healing - they're just dry and itchy now.

the new places are being doused with cream so they don't get worse...

does it make sense that itching all day makes me tired?
