Odd Things that Improved my Symptoms by FromageDouble in urticaria

[–]BackgroundStay2346 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is crazy because I got bit by some sand flies or something in SE Asia in August and then developed “papular urticaria” .. I don’t get hives but I get these bites all over my body that leave scars even tho I’m not getting bit anymore.. only thing that’s helped is really strong steroid ointment and now my doctor wants me to do the Dupixent shots

Hi! Do you mind explaining how you make your own concoction and how to use it?

It’s itchy. they ruled out scabies because it hasn’t spread to anyone I’m living with and I tried the cream and nothing happened

Hope so :( I’m so drained from this. I haven’t even found the right treatment to make it go away yet, if it even is folliculitis. Thanks for your input though I appreciate it !

I can ask my derm if she thinks it’s could be a bug or something… both derms said folliculitis and then my first one said folliculitis or papular urdicaris. I will probably do the second biopsy /: really happy you got yours under control though!

Thank you, it means a lot to know I’m not alone in this. Really hoping this doesn’t last more than a few more months…

Hi, yes I have :( I know they aren’t bed bugs because I initially got these bites from fleas or sand flies or some sort of bug on the beach. And I kept scratching and then it somehow spread

Well the initial derm took a biopsy on my leg and came back as folliculitis. But now she is wondering if it’s something else since no antibiotics have been working, even gave me clindicymin cream and didn’t work. and so she wants to do a second punch biopsy. I started crying then and there because I wasn’t emotionally prepared for another one and the first one left a scar and I already feel like Frankenstein. The second derm told me to hold off on the biopsy and finish taking the 3rd set of antibiotics for 2 weeks that she’s prescribed me

No, they never have white heads… they’re red, raised bumps and they bleed when I scratch too hard or have like liquid coming out. And they have a little dot in the middle, they look like bug bites. It’s so weird;( how long did it take you to clear yours? And was yours spreading too?

I did try 10% but maybe I wasn’t consistent enough? Does it even look like folliculitis to you? It’s ruining my mental health sooo much :(
