Xyzal and Itching

Hi,

I stopped taking Xyzal 2 days ago for allergy testing next week.  Since yesterday I've been itching like crazy and it doesn't stop.  I'm itching all over my head, neck, arms, back and shoulders.  I have these little red bumps.  It's driving me up the wall!  I also noticed an exzema rash under my arms and inside my left elbow.  The rash under my right arm and left elbow is quite itchy.  Why is this happening?

My face is the only part of my body that never broke out. Itched sometimes. But because the face is oily, is doesn't usually dry unless you use soap on it. Do you?
Use just a cotton wash cloth on your face.
Strange thing is that many times when I touch my allergens with my hands, instead of my hands itching, I itch somewhere else on my body totally unrelated, and thus one would never know it was caused from what the hands were touching. Often the itch is on my torso and lower legs. But it jumps around all the time.

Propylene glycol is in a lot of products like shampoo, shaving gels, underarm sticks, lotions, etc...
This becomes a problem to the skin once you have this allergen and I suspect it may be an onsetter of them also. It is a highly controversial chemical that many groups are fighting to outlaw the use of.
Do not use products containing this agent!

I use a great working and non irritating lotion as I am also hypersensitive too. it is the only one that works for me.
Aveeno active naturals fragrance free with natural colloidal oatmeal. In a tan bottle with a green cap. Get this and apply it after your shower. Remember that dry skin itches more. And this lotion actually provides some relief by creating a thin barrier for the allergens too.

Spot try another thing too. Why you start itching someplace put 90% rubbing alcohol in that area. Hopefully your eyes or bunghole don't itch cause that is gonna burn like hell! Joking. But don't put it on areas like that or too close to your eyes, or on your face for that matter. Oh I forgot before. Don't just wear your boxers inside out, but turn them to the side some so the fly is not on your penis. The opposite side your penis seems to go on or where you keep it. Oh sorry, you're the one with that issue. That was another guy.

And for your own good, read my other posts under allergy and dermatology sections.

Hi,

I don't really have neck tightness...just a ton of itching.  The itching is getting worse.  It's now on my stomach, hands and face.  I took a cold shower and that helped for a little bit, but not long enough.
I'll look at your other posts.

Thanks.

Allergy to the polyester that is in your threads of all your clothes. Even if they are 100 % cotton, the thread is not.
When you ask your doctor about it, he will say no. Don't believe him. 75% of questions on this dermatology section have the same thing. It is an epidemic they are hiding.
At least wear only 100% cotton. And no hat.

And your head itch? Leaning your head back on your couch, and your pillow.  Fold up a cotton towel and that can be your pillow.

You must be starting with the tightness in your neck by now too huh?

Reply to this then read my other posts in dermatology and allergy!
