I only take the anti histamine tablets when I am going to bed otherwise I am like a zoombi

But my oh my do you get a lovely sleep, free of itching

I had to take my teenage daughter to the drs yesterday as last week she came out in these spots on her face and arms.
They looked liked mosquito bites but thought i had better get it checked out.
Dr said it was either some sort of pox (not chicken as not enough spots for that) or some sort of bite.
Dr said calomine lotion or antihistimines was the only answer. dont scratch them as they can scar you plus you can get infection in them.
my daughter now looks like a snowman plus she is drugged up as well.
Oh! happy days.

My husband had this a few years back, put savlon on, it got worse came up like the Michelin tyre man seems he was allergic to Savlon. The day before it all broke out he had put the stuff on a minor cut. Pears soap has exactly the same effect on me, so could it be something you have used in the shower or bath?

Makes me shudder and itch - lol.

Yes Harp String, although we put Frontline on our cat, he sometimes has them, and we have to look him over,as I dont want them to fall off and attach themselves on us.
Although they are no bigger than a flea, when they suck the blood they come up as big as a berry.

Hi Teddy - I know someone who had a tic from walking in long grass and it attached itself to under his armpit - was not very pleasant at all! I was actually thinking the same thing when I first seen this thread.

OH and I had very itchy skin, and redness, taken anti histamine tabs done us good. Tree sap we think. Savlon seemed to ease the itching.

Be careful Paul my bil got bitten by a tick last year, and was very ill. Went to doctors in time.

Paul, are you feeling better?

Let me have a contact number if you want to meet next week.

Paul from Norfolk have you been into Grannies choclates! (its another thread)

Paul from Norfolk. Put the red felt tip away and stick to crayons.

I would say go to the Pharmacist and ask them, you could have picked up chickenpox or measles or something.
Take care,
are we likely to see you next week?

My 33 year old son has just got chicken-pox even though he had it when he was 10. So that's going round at the moment.

Do as Gwyn says - take an antihistamine.
'New Era' antihistamine are good - don't cause drowsiness.
You can also get antihistamine creams.

Have you had cold like symptoms as well ?

Sounds like Ulticara/nettle rash. I suffer from it at different times of year.....my allergy is to tree sap. Clarityn works for me, no other antihistamine ever did.

It's really not pleasant Paulie I feel for you. Get some tablets down you though asap because it can spread very quickly all over your body xx

Paul, are you taking any new or newish medication?

I didn't used to be allergic to red fruit but it can be 'seasonal' or if there's a hot spell it effects the histamine levels.
If it doesn't go do what Gwyn said.

Could be hogweed,Timothy grass.Are your eyes affected aswell?

Nah, tall grass was in a graveyard.

Could be an allergy to all manner of things.
eg a particular food, medication, washing powder etc.
If it continues, ask a pharmacist's advice.
