Thank you so much for the that website. I will definitely dig into that, especially knowing that helped you straighten things out.
Yes, eczema seemed to be the default diagnosis when the lab found nothing.
I had had a second derm appointment last fall, but cancelled due to this temporarily getting better. Once it flared substantially (and has shown no sign of letting up, though it may have leveled-off for the moment), I knew I needed to be more proactive. Fortunately, my PCP is very onboard with me making suggestions for possible causes.
I had contact dermatitis a lot growing up on the farm. Some of those things no longer bother me, some I've not intentionally tried to touch. And yes, this is nothing like that both in symptoms and in treatment.
I've wanted to get allergy tested, but they only seem to want to see me if I could go into anaphylactic shock. My PCP may be amenable to making a reference if progress can't be made in figuring out what this is.
