So on Sunday night the pores on my arms started to swell and redden, and then it started on my chest and back, and soon down my legs. I went to the doctor on Tuesday and he put me on some antibiotics and told me to eat lots of vitamin C. He wasn't sure what the cause was as I haven't changed anything in my diet, or detergents, or anything to that affect. Not to mention I don't have any food allergies to begin with. He mentioned that it looked like something that would normally happen if I was taking a new medication, which I'm not. I left him stumped to say the least.
So as of today I started getting itchy. I'm hoping that means I'm healing, but I need to use something that will allow my skin to breathe (I tried using some cream I use for my eczema and it wound up making the skin burn).
The skin is rather tight and dry (yesterday it sort of felt like a sunburn), so something that won't potentially dry out my skin more would be a plus.
Thanks!
