Hi, I hope that you can help. Last year in November I was stung by a wasp. I didnt realised that i had an allergy, but I ended up getting sick, was told I had a moderate reaction
to the wasp sting. I was put on a course of predisolne tablets (50mg) a day. After three days I was still no good so i was told by the Dr to continue for 10 days all up. I was feeling better by this point. I had already entered two fun runs late November, the first was on a very hot day, the second weekend was in the rain. The following Monday I developed a rash that looked like pimples but when they were squeezed were excruitiating. This rash was on my back face
arms and chest. I have since tried lots of creams, antibiotics to no effect. I have done skin swabs, and biopsys which said it was to do with the folical but I was advised that the Dr had run out of ideas to try. After two and a half months I finally saw a dermatologist that told me to use a steriod cream twice a day, and take an antihistamine. With the heat
as this is making it worse. And that it was the Wasp sting that has done this not the steriods that I took. After a week of using the cream I am now suffering a very painful
are scarred, and I am over it! I am still itchy and this seems to be going no where. And I am sick of people telling me it is the running, but truth be told a stinking hot Aussie summer is making it worse to deal with. If you can point me in a different direction to try that would be greatly appreciated as this is stressful.
