I've been so uncomfortable the past 3 weeks. I only have to be outside for 10-15 minutes, and my forearms start itching. Now, it's spread to behind my ears, around my neck, and on my chest. Only 1-2 days in the beginning were my typical Spring flowering trees nasal and eye allergies. The past 3 years, it's been just my forearms. I thought I may have had a latex allergy, as I blamed it on the rubber dish washing gloves. That rash lasted 8 weeks.
Today, I was in the garden for 9 hours. Itch, itch, itch again. It pretty much went away until today. I can't take meds, I have problems with them. I bathe in vinegar and warm water or pat on diluted white vinegar on the areas, which really helps. Does pollen really cause this on skin???
