I had this years ago, the dr. said it can be brought on by stress too. I used benadryl and calamine lotion. Will be praying for you. mine lasted about 6 weeks, it was almost worse than the chickenpox.
I am glad it is not contagious and you are able to go for the birth. I also hope you get some relief soon. My daughter did have that once and it was the deoderant soap that caused it.
It is amazing Gerry - that it took so many doctors to get it right - hope the cream helps and you travel safely and please give the new one a hug from this Grammy, too.
Did the doctor suggest you take any benadryl? At least to get rest at night. I've had that and it was certain soap and too hot of water. Gee, had to get a dishwasher :-). Anyway, got past it. Changed to sensative skin Dove. I do hope you're better real soon.
Hope you are feeling tons better real soon. Give that new little person a kiss for me, when he makes his appearence!
Getting the right diagnosis must be a relief. Do you have any idea what you might have come into contact with to cause this irritation?
