Re: oh no!!!

shoot! it's never happened to me, but the benedryl is a good idea. you can also put tea bags on it if its really itchy.... it really works!! hope you feel better!

Re: oh no!!!

yes something similar and went to an allergist and they thinhk it was a reaction to dryer sheets I was using. benadryl definitely helped to keep itching down- feel better

Re: oh no!!!

That happened to me when I took pennicillin (I didn't know I was allergic to it). Have you taken a new medication?

Re: oh no!!!

I would go to a dermotologist, it might be an allergy or something else irritating your skin

Re: oh no!!!

I had it on half of my body once, benadryl worked and kept it from itching... It was some kind of allergic reaction to something I ate. You should be ok.

You prob have an allergic reaction to something?? Did you change the laundry detergent?? Body wash?? Benadry is a good idea....and when you jump in the shower, let the cold water run on it...it'll soothe the itchyness...Feel better!!!

Re: oh no!!!

Are you stressed about something? Stress can bring hives it happen to me once. benedryl works very good.

It's an allergic reaction to something you took or are using. I had that reaction from Sulfer. You should find out what you are allergic too. Benedryl does really help though.

Re: oh no!!!

maybe you should call the doctor and have him presecribe you a cream, sounds like an allergy to me

MrsInglima Posted: Apr 01, 2008 11:44 AM

Re: oh no!!!

Re: oh no!!!

did you have the chicken pox before?

kabo0831 Posted: Apr 01, 2008 12:24 PM

Re: oh no!!!

do they hurt?

if so then it might be shingles

kmiller Posted: Apr 01, 2008 12:38 PM

Re: oh no!!!

I've had that happen and it really freaked me out.

I also can't take an allergy medication because it makes me really jumpy.

It went away after about 3 days though. don't worry!

Re: oh no!!!

Yes iw ould say an allergic reaction & allergies can start anytime. So a Bendryl was a good idea. Dont worry it will go away. Sometimes you haveto take it twice.

Re: oh no!!!

The same thing happened to me when I took penicillen, r u taking any medications? I would definitely call my doctor just to have it checked.

Re: oh no!!!

Ahh!! My FMIL came back from Mexico and a few weeks later had the same thing. She actually found out it was bedbugs and the Dr. said it was most likely on something like clothes that she could have brought back from Cancun. I would just check with your Dr, they know best! It could be a million diff things!
