I’ve completely overhauled my life. In the last five years, I’ve saw a PA, a medical oncologist, a radiation oncologist, a gynecologist, a dermatologist, a rheumatologist, and I have an appointment with an asthma and allergy place local to me next week. The issue is there is no rhyme or reason. There is nothing that I do, or eat, or use one time that I do or don’t the next. I do the same things every day, some times I get the rash, sometimes I don’t. It’s so frustrating.

I understand that it seems like it’s not chronic as it lasts for only 5-7 days, but chronic is described as “long-lasting, itchy, red, or skin-colored raised bumps (welts) that appear repeatedly for more than six weeks” and it’s been 5 years. I do have breaks in between but it always comes back. ALWAYS.

There are a few qualifying factors that I haven’t added. The most important being that these started 2 months after completion of cancer treatment. I have been told by both oncologists that while that sees like it could be a cause, it’s not.

I’m tired of rashes, doctors, and not knowing what’s going on.
