Post COVID skin conditions: What can I do to control the reactions?
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: Feb 7 6:14pm | Replies (22)Comment receiving replies
One week Post Covid I started getting itchy on my head and ears. Then I woke up and found my entire face and body covered in red itchy hives. Everyone said I am allergic to something but I am not. I went to ER 2x and they gave me Benadryl and prednisone/ I was burning on the inside and total red mess on the outside. Yes the Benadryl and prednisone helped some but nothing seems to work any more. It travels to different parts of my body. I am so over this and no one knows anything. So itchy and uncomfortable. I have really bad days and some days not as bad. I just don’t know what to do anymore

Welcome, @honeychips. Fellow member @bburg's thought is certainly worth investigating. Have you recently started any new medication?
Additionally, I wonder if either of these discussions might give you some ideas to look into:

Read the Package Insert Clinical section of any drugs you have. I got hives as a side effect of atorvastatin, exacerbated by a new chemo drug I was given.
