Dermadoc gave me another prescription for a stronger than ever cortisone cream and some super strong antihistamines that I can only take at night. He said just to take Allegra during the day. He said if it doesn't go away,he wants to biopsy the rash. He said it's very rare, but it could be a developing skin cancer. He doesn't really think it is, but since all this other stuff isn't helping, he'll do the biopsy just to make sure.
Shingles crossed my mind too, but dermadoc says no. It was also on my legs a few months ago and my arm, but that managed to go away.
So I'm waiting to have prescription filled and I slathered calamine all over and wrapped it with a 4x4 pad. Right now, it's better.
I also asked dermadoc about prednisone and he said that it would probably go away initially, but return as soon as I was off of the prednisone.
Got two warts lasered today too. Surprisingly, I can still type. One is on the tip of my index finger and the other is on the side of my middle finger where you lean you pencil while writing. They are sore, but it's tolerable. I have a bunch of reports to do for tomorrow, before doctor goes on vacation.
