h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Thank you.

Approximately 5 weeks ago I developed small red weals, which my Internist called Urticaria, over most of my body (with the exception of hands and feet). He prescribed Fexofinadine and had me take 2 Benadryl tablets at bedtime to control the itching and to help with sleep. After 2+ weeks there was no relief.

I then saw a dermatologist who prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonide Ointment USP to be applied to the affected areas twice daily. Alternating with this, I was instructed to apply Eucerin Moisturizing Creme twice daily as well, and to use Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Soap. I was also given a prescription for Hydroxyz HCL 25mg tablets to take an hour before bedtime to soothe nerve endings and help with sleep.

After 6-7 days the small weals had begun to fade somewhat, but then much larger weals began to appear with pustules. After 12 days, they continue to appear all over my body.

Any help or suggestions you can provide will be deeply appreciated.

Thank You,
George
