  They are growing the bacteria and I guess they want to be thorough so that will take days. Way longer than blood tests. Fingers crossed you find something with an easy fix!

    Thankyou, that’s a good explanation. The thought that they have to deliberately grow this thing makes my skin crawl even more! And thankyou again, I’ll give them a call.

    exactly, it’s completely different and takes time

  In the interim is there anything that might sooth the symptoms?

  Do antihistamines help any with this?

  I wouldn’t listen to your MIL, don’t need her 2 cents about her experience and how lightning fast things are. Doesn’t help you in the slightest.

    I’m just about to try some antihistamines. And thankyou re MIL, she can talk underwater with a mouth full of marbles

      I really hope you feel better soon and ca. get to the bottom of whatever is causing the problems.

      I suffer from skin conditions as well though I hide them but some days it can be painful and it just saps the energy away from you.

  hugs Hang in there .

  Is anything topical working for you?

  source

  • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Calmoseptine. And calamine lotion but I’ve had to use lots. Anything else just seems to feed it shudders

    source

    • Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Not sure if it’s suitable, but I’ve found Dermaid to be helpful if you haven’t already tried it. It’s a bit thicker, but given the size of the tube, it might not be cost-effective.

  stupid rash stay in your lane

    That’s what I thought too! Stay away from the bosom!

  Do you have any anti-itch cream available? I’ve found that plain vaseline can help with mystery rashes, helps stop the itches. Not a cure, not even close, but may help with symptoms until you get your results. Sending some healing vibes through the aether.

    Thankyou, I’ve Calmoseptine and calamine lotion. Everything else just seems to feed it. Ugh!

  I’m sorry, that sucks. I had pityriasis rosea or some such, I’m hoping it’s just a reaction to a virus and nothing more serious 🤞

  I also potentially have mast cell flares = rashes

  One thing I found is to just very lightly and carefully ‘slap’ the itchy spots or like tap it with an open hand or fingertips - or even better do it right next to it on healthy skin. It distracts from the sensation without causing as much irritation as scratching.

  However if the skin is in any way compromised ie. fragile, damaged, weeping, or infectious - don’t do this. Don’t touch it

    My God Melba, that Pityriasis Rosea looks uncannily like what I’ve got! We’re the sores weepy at all?

    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I’m sorry I don’t really remember

        This started on my upper arms and thighs and has suddenly and rapidly spread to the rest of the limbs, spread to my back and left boob and bottom, and up the front of my throat. I’d not heard of it before so I googled it and was shocked at how uncannily like my rash it is. I showed Mr P who said it basically looks exactly like it. I’ve got my specialist appointment on Thursday, so it’ll be interesting what they say. Looking into it though, there are a lot of similarities regarding the circumstances. I’ve been exposed to a lot of viruses in the past few months including covid, and I’ve been under a lot of stress for a prolonged period of time. I wondered how I can look like I’ve got 3 different types of rashes all at the same time on different parts of my body, which is what pictures I saw looks like on people; there’s the ones that look like circles (arms, legs and butt) the ones that look like flattish raised bumps (throat and some I’m legs) and the ones that look like a bright red prickle rash (rapidly spreading everywhere else there isn’t already a rash, filling in the spaces like I’m being coloured in lol).
