i get poison ivy several times a year, its usually not a big deal and i deal with it for a few days. a few years ago i got into something else, something nasty, oak or sumac maybe? i had it on both forearms and it was way worse than any poison ivy i have ever had, it was rashed and blistered up and lasted for a couple weeks and even left some cut-like scars on my arms. i cant remember if i went to the doctor but i tend not to very much so doubt i did.
well it tends to come back a few times a year randomly and unprovoked. it doesnt rash up or even get red, my skin just starts itching like crazy, mainly on my left forearm right where the rash was a few years ago. its been doing it now for a couple weeks and i will wake up at night scratching my arm so much it bleeds.
calamine lotion and benadryl gel seem to work fairly well till it wears off.
just curious if any of you are dealing with anything similar?
