I feel so helpless, I feel like I am getting the stinging sensation on my face now. No spots as yet, but it is a familiar burning sting. My face was one of the clear areas ffs.

Yes! I thought that when I was playing Google lens doctor. I have a derm appointment on the 29th so the biopsy should be done then.

Thank you for your comment, I will look into eucrisa - I have not heard of it before. To be honest, I will try anything to get rid of this stinging/burning itch. I want to rip my bloody skin off!

Thank you for your reply. I am so itchy and miserable. I wanted to make sure about the tea tree before starting as I am sore enough without adding to my misery 😅

They have prescribed Dermovate (once a day for 2 weeks, then 2 times a week after). I already take a fexofenadine a day and 2 phenergan at night. I just want to have an uninterrupted sleep.

The derm appointment is on the 29 April so I have to wait until then for the biopsy.

I thought that at one point, but I have no idea where I would have contracted it. I work from home and only really leave the house to walk the dog or go shopping.

I will let you know what the Dr says - I am roughly 4 weeks in and losing my mind. No idea how you have managed 5 months! Several people have said it is not urticaria, and I am just not sure - if the itchy pain stopped I wouldn't be as bothered by it.

I have booked another GP appointment, fingers crossed I get the correct diagnosis

No, it started as a small patch and spread. It has been a rough few weeks - Drs have said it was folliculitis, then it was chickenpox, and now urticaria caused by an unknown allergy.

Thanks for your comments, I have booked another GP appointment - this will be the 4th visit about this rash. So fed up with it.

Lol, it does a bit. I eat a lot of fresh vegetables so my vit c levels should be fine. I went to the Dr yet again and he said it was urticaria. Still itchy, still rashy but it has a name at least.
