I have had what started as a rash 3 months ago. I spent the previous night in a hospital, because I took a spill at home. Soon this rash turned into severe hives on face, thigh, arms (inside elbow) and mainly the right side of my back (which is the side I sleep on) and my breasts (which is where the nightgown in the hospital rested. That was the end of February and now it's May and the itching especially on my breasts and under my left arm (and down the arm to inside of the elbow.
The itching and little bumps (like hives) are so bad you wouldn't believe it. Doctor gave me Triamcinolone 0.1% cream, but it doesn't do that well. I tried Cortiscone from the drug store..not that great either. I'm taking Bensdryl tablets, because they did control the hives pretty well, but this rash and all the little bumps are killing me.
