I had the rash for 3 days before seeing my allergist, who then gave me

a steroid shot (Kenalog), steroid cream (Elocon) to put on the rash,

and Atarax. The severe itching and rash start to improve about 2 days

later and the rash was completely gone about 3 days after that. I still

have some mild itching 7 days after receiving all the meds but it's

much much much better and definitely tolerable, which it was not before

the meds.

It sounds like a good time for you to visit your allergist for help

with the rash.

Went there 5 days into rash and he put me on 3 zytec (30mg) and lots

of Atarax (60mg every 4 hours) and gave me a steroid creme. Ran some

blood tests and two days later I went on Cipro. And now my

EOS(eosinophilis) cells in my blood went to 25%. SO now they had me

start Prednisone...again... to bring does the EOS and hopefully help

the rash (10 days and counting) go away. Being checked for lots of

things but our first notion is a drug allergy -- now to find out which

one...

I am just getting tired of being ill. On a positive note, Xolair

seems to have calmed my cough that I had for 6 months and I haven't

had to neb in over a week AND I only used my albuterol inhaler 3 times

last week. <<NEW RECORD>> But now I may have to go off it and I really

can't function if the cough comes back... bummer!
