Well this bout isn’t nearly as bad as it was the last time I had this. Possibly because this time I’m not listening to the doctor and AM treating it like poison something. But it does still itch like a %$**(*^ so, after taking the mega dose antihistamine on Tuesday night and being a zombie most of the day yesterday, I decided to scale back a bit last night. I have an over the counter antihistamine that I use for my allergies that I tried last night. That seemed to do the trick just fine. It does wear off after about 6 hours though and the itching comes back so I’m going to have to live on this stuff for a day or two more till the rash goes away.
Speaking of the rash, I tried a couple of things night before last. First I put my son’s acne cream on one spot (hey, it’s supposed to dry the acne up so why not) and I used Aveeno anti itch cream with something in it that is supposed to dry up rashes, and I used just strait Ivy Dry on the rest of the spots. The acne cream seemed to work the best! The Ivy Dry came in a close second and the Aveeno – waste of time.
So, last night I double dosed with the acne cream on everything and sprayed the Ivy Dry on top. I’m gonna get rid of this crud one way or another!
