Oh my goodness, that’s just awful to have such a reaction. Hopefully some of the members I tagged in my previous post will be able to chime in with some ideas for you until you can get some medical help.

@jackographia has had some relief from steroids and antihistamines after seeking care at urgent care. Have you tried and over the counter antihistamine such as Benadryl or Claritin?

Yes, this is exactly what is happening to me. I wrote my doctor's name on my arm to show her, while in the exam room with her. Sigh.

This happened to me too! I am now nearly three months after my second COVID booster (Pfizer) and I still get red and have the skin writing condition. Sometime I just touch my skin and it gets red. My ears get really hot too. It used to happen more on my body — toros and legs now it’s migrated upwards and happens on my face. I have to take Zyrtec every day and that really only helps the itching but barely.
