Just wondered if anyone has any ideas about this.
I started getting urticaria-type rashes after my reaction to neoprene last year. Firstly it developed on my legs as reaction to cold and my hands/arms if in contact with cold water. My ears too would go red and feel like they were burning if I went out without a hat pulled down over them. Now, after the trigger of the wasp sting, it is all over - arms, legs and feet too I think. So itchy and uncomfortable.
OH thinks it's a reaction to the amount of antihistamine I've been taking but after researching that this afternoon (now I have computer back) I would disagree and I've just had to take another tablet. I know there are different antihistamines and I have been taking an old sort (Piriton) which I had in store in case Monty got stung! Will go to the chemist tomorrow and see what else is available.
