it's driving me nuts, what could it be??

I don't have excema or any skin complaints normally. they don't feel particularly dry and I don't think I've changed any of my products. I really can't bare it.. HELP!

Good luck, it sounds quite disturbing for you. I'm glad you're not actually feeling ill as well. Hope they are kind and sympathetic rather than reeling in horror

Could be a viral rash?

DD had one that spread slowly across her body over about 10 days but wasn't itchy.

Hope you get it sorted.

I saw GP.. Apparently I have had a severe allergic reaction. He didn't seem interested in determining what I've had a reaction too. He prescribed me some striong(?) hayfever tablets and told me to go back in a week if it's not gone.

He said it could possibly be a reaction to my citalopram which seems odd as I've been taking it happiy since around October time.

Oh well..

At least my swollen ears aren't as bad as they were.

Oh what a relief...puzzling but at least you have something to take. I'm glad it seems to be working a bit. Time to start writing a list of everything you touch and eat, I think...I suppose these things can be delayed, perhaps it is the cito.
Hope you had a good night's sleep

OH MASCARA i feel for you.I really hope the anti histamines work .did the gp give you any kind of cream? I was going to say perhaps some aloe vera gel might help to cool things down and give you some relief.
Take care.

Thanks guys, keeping an eye on it as if it's the Cit it can be a pre-warning of some sort of serious shock can't remember what he said but it was eithe toxic shock or like toxic shock.. so if not gone in a week he'll be taking me off the Cit.

Tis a bit better today which is a relief
