What is the diff between Riba Rash & INC Rash ??

[Livinontheedge]

Can anyone tell me the difference between the two rashes ?     I am ending week 2 with tri tx w/ INC.    I have rash everywhere, but totally not out of hand.

Thats right Dreamcat, You and I are right together on this thing.   I forgot !   But I am forgetting everything from the stinking fog !   LOL      I do my 3 shot , Monday nite at 8pm Central.   So I am right with ya !
Hang tight !

I've got a rash mostly on my arms -- it's little red bumps, but it seems much better in the last day or so.  I've been generously slathering Eucerine anti-itch cream several times a day, and it has definitely helped.  I thought it was the INC rash, rather than Riba -- am I incorrect about that?

So far, the rash and tiredness are my side effects -- if this is the worst it gets, I'll take it!  I'm going into my third week.

Take care, everyone... :)

Thanks Dear .     I got it figured out now.  Mine is all Riba Rash.   No blisters , just a bunch of red bumps and you really cant see them that much on my skin.   I am olive toned so Unless I am standing in light ,you dont notice them much.  But boy oh boy you can feel them.      I think I might have a little INC rash here and there and your right it comes up in whelps and blisters, just found one place so far.  
I know this sounds crazy, but what I have been doing is dabbing on cortizone/ anti itch cream and then I rub Desitin Baby Rash Cream with 40 % Zinc on my legs , torso, arms , neck you name it.  And its doing the job pretty good and smells great !
