i've had it for about two weeks now on my legs since i first broke out in the rash. i just got the blisters yesterday and both my knees are swollen so walking is a pain. i too have been taking oral steroids and now i was prescribed fluocinonide. just started today so results will be later (hopefully crossing my fingers). i'm no the same boat as you and i too would like some comforting words that it will stop one day. what i can say to you is that you're not alone.
i've tried benedryl and zyrtec for the itchies and that seemed to work, especially the benadryl when i need to go to sleep. i washed all my clothes and i keep washing them after i use them because i have no idea where i might have transferred it to. tried the zanfel thing today and i'm hoping that would work. it hurt a bit applying it becuase of the bilsters i already have and rubbing them with this stuff pretty much aggravated it. but time will tell. i was hoping to use it to take away whatever oil i had on the rest of my skin. i'm stating to find more small spots around my arms.
you haveing it for 6 weeks must be one of the worst exeriences to go through and i have every drop of sympathy for you because i too am in agony because it's more painful for me that itchy. the blisters are a nuisence and it gets all over my clothes and bedding. and the one thing i dread is infection. if i hear or find any good advice to share i will definitely let you know. i'm going to see my own dermatologist soon too. i'm hoping its not systemic.
good luck and keep your head up. you're not alone. |
