A week ago, I experienced an allerigc reaction to acne medication I had been taking for about a month. (Don't ask why my body was so late to react.) After having severe blotching, swelling, throwing up, and other symptoms, my body seems to have calmed down. I have gotten back to normal life. However, the reaction still occurs (and will continue for another week or two, according to my doctor) in the form of an itch. All over my body, I constantly itch. It's so much, I've never felt like this in life before. After itching, the skin becomes VERY red and enflamed, as well as having raised skin where my fingers scratched. I'm currently taking Tylenol, Bennydryl (sp?), and steroid pills that are intended to end the reaction and assist with the itching. Is there anything else I can do? It's SO distracting and is keeping me up at all hours of the night.
