The swellen has moved up some passed my wrist . Right now I am using cortizone but it s still itchy, swollen and when I make a fist it fells tight..Would you recommend another type of ointment or should I see a Dr. on sept. 9.

hello,
this condition is known as urticaria
You can use levocetrizine instead of cortisone because of much less side-effects .
and in future avoid any contact with grass to avoid this happening again.
I hope this shall be of help to you.
regards.
