[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 513155, member: 1233"] Hugs to her and you. Those are painful. This next will sound odd, but trust me. Go to the first aid section of Walmart and get BurnJel Plus. It is a lidocaine gel with aloe and tea tree and it is AMAZING for acne. FAR better than the stuff sold as an acne medication. It is super gentle on the skin, the lidocaine makes the zit not hurt so it doesn't get picked at, and the aloe and tea tree oil make it heal faster than anything else I have ever tried even straight tea tree oil (which husband swears by). Everything makes Jess break out and this is about the ONLY thing that helps. Of course benadryl for the hives or whatever is important. But unless she can't tolerate lidocaine, this would be the best treatment for future outbreaks and it is about $7 for a 4 oz bottle and that will last a LONG time, so it is worth a try. Plus it is great for burns and blisters too. I hope that you can get her into a dermatologist, just be careful with what they suggest. I have seen several for the psoriatic arthritis and every single thing they suggest or prescribe has camphor or menthol in it and I just can't have those on my skin - I get really sick from both of them.
