We are 7 years down the line with GP, dermatologists etc and the only explanation ever given is eczema, nothing works, it's extremely painful often cracks and bleeds present on hands, inner arms and under arms. DP is a chef while on furlough it disappeared completely ?? Any ideas??

@viperatthegatesofdawn yes that's my worry, and while I know he needs to find a different path. He hasn't even had so much as a written warning and they are jumping straight to dissmissal so I can't sit back and allow that to happen, his boss is on a power trip and thinks that DH will just do as he's told, he's now messaging telling him to quit as it's the "decent thing to do"

Thanks @royalbloo but we are wayyyyy beyond antihistamines now.

@Rabbitheadlights salford have a great dermatology clinic, I see Dr Marsland for severe chronic spontaneous and autoimmune urticaria

https://theskindoctor.co.uk his private clinic

To add I'm on 4 x ceterizine a day and a trial of monthly Xolair injections
Mine looks like this - incredibly itchy but doesn't blister/crack

For instant relief to itching, a cold wet flannel to the area.
Have another one sitting in cold water near by, when the body heat takes away the cold, swap the flannels over.

I had a 5 month old covered head to toe in severe urticaria following anaphylaxis.

And I had UPPP when I was pregnant with him so well versed I fucking bastard urticaria.

If it doesn't prove to be urticaria.

Deodorant. Has he checked that? I assume that not being in a kitchen, he is now using very little compared to normal. Considering where it is...

@schrodingersimmigrant the underarm is a very recent development it's everywhere really .. starts on the hands, then up the wrist into the inside of the elbow, lower abdomen, lower back and now the underarm.

Thanks @BiggerBetterHealthier just recieved another referral for Wednesday next week with dermatology, hopefully this time they will do something if not, we are going to go private.

Ah. Sorry. Missed that. Hope you find the cause

The only thing with dermatology is that it looks to fix the symptoms and not the cause (in this case it's likely to be allergies).

Also I know it's a few hours from you but Leicester has a hospital which is renowned for its allergy specialists.

With this sort of thing you do tend to have to travel a bit for the best care.
