PAULIE I presume all your skin eruptions are being handled by the steroid and clearing things up?
Hi tsk!! Nice to see you and very nice and thank you for asking.
The initial steroid prescription helped a lot and the initial eruptions (good term for them by the way!) pretty much went away after one week. But when we went to the cabin again the next weekend they got puffy and itchy again. I was very careful too and didn't walk in wooded areas. I had taken all the steroid but resumed taking Allegra for antihistamine. It helped the itching and swelling plus an anti-itch cream.
Two weeks went by and the eruptions were gone. We went to cabin this past weekend so that was my test to see if they reappeared again. They did not until the fourth day and final day (yesterday) there I got a raised itchy bump again in an initial location on neck. Weird and strange, right? When they reappear it's where I first had them. Anyway I'm taking Allegra and using anti-itch cream on it. Whatever I'm allergic to outside the cabin areas must be airborne.
It will be another two weeks before we can go to the cabin again so I'm really hoping with the extra time between visits it won't happen any more and I'm done with it. Fingers crossed!
Thanks again for asking. I hope all is good for you and you're enjoying Spring and gardening and other things.
