Insane Rash

[Jesnaskah]

Hello,

Last Tues or Wednesday I started to get these flesh colored bumps on my lower, inside forearm. Skip to today, I have bumps all over my limbs, some isolated, some in clusters, they are really raised red bumps and some are pink but overall very itchy and inflammed. I'm going nuts here. Spent the entire weekend in urgent Care, one doc misdiagnosed it as folliculitis, but even I knew it couldn't be that, 2nd doc has no clue. Today went to a dermatologist, took a biopsy and I'm just so freaked out here.

Not only is it painfully itchy and irritating, it's hideous as well and everyday there are a ton more, now it's on my torso too! I'm itchy even where I dont have any bumps. I feel like a creature from the see with barnacles all over. Anyone here EVER experience such an atroctious rash?!?!? I will spare you the photos 😟😭😩

I feel like I can never get a break! I've been trying so hard to be more "positive" and now this is making me incredibly sad and feeling like it just never ends.

Sorry to hear that, it just seems one thing after another with RD sometimes and your replies always so positive. Don't know what meds you re on, could it be reaction to any of them? I had horrible rash with hydroxychloroquine? Hope you get some answers/relief soon.

Thank you Kerena.

I really don't know what's going on.

In only on 3.5mg pred and 3 mg naltrexone. But maybe that's the problem. Rheumy squeezing me in today. I hope she can help.

Hope you are doing well!!

Take an anti histamine - a non-drousy one. If it is itchy, it is very likely an allergy. It won't solve your problem but will give you some relief if it is an allergy. If not, at least you can rule that out. I am allergic to a lot of things, including drugs.

You can get some that work in 15 minutes over the counter - which will provide you with the clue straight away. If helpful, then you could try getting some on prescription which are better (as you only need to take one instead of three, which can be dangerous).

Thank you for the response!

I am currently on an antihistamine. I take one every night anyway to keep my allergies at bay. Its not helping. Nothing is helping and everyday is getting worse and worse. I can no longer sleep. It burns and itches so bad.
