I have no possibility to "take a picture" Besides it would not show anything
It itches a lot. especially my face and some other parts of my body.
I know it happen because of the mold which has been removed according to
the specialist. However. I believe that there is still mold in the house and I
suffer because of it. This is my question: is there a medication or a cream
that I can use to remediate this situation?
