I woke up on Friday with a slight rash on my arms and legs, didn't bother me too much during the day (I was working so a bit distracted) but by evening it was so itchy. It woke me in the middle of the night and I took an antihistamine and put some more balneum cream on which at least meant I could sleep.
It looks awful and is incredibly itchy. I cancelled my flu jab today as I wasn't feeling great and the pharmacist advised Piriton and calamine cream which I've just slathered on.
I'm assuming it was the pjs I wore on Thurs night which were long sleeves and legs - haven't worn them for months. Maybe I washed them in bio powder? I'm now rewashing all the washing I did this week as I can't say for definite it was non bio powder.
Anyone got any thoughts as to what it might be - I have no idea why it's only arms and legs and nowhere else for example and why it is quite so vicious. I do have mildly sensitive skin and have been affected by washing powder before but only behind my knees and elbows.
Also tips on stopping it itching - making me so miserable.
