Yeah Poet, we can start a Itching Society, although I am not sure if we would get volunteer members LOL.
I am not sure if a biopsy is the only way to test for it as I am sometimes wondering if my dermo is one of those docs that forgets people feel pain. Anyway, last night I had another sudden rash on my face and had to take an emergency benadryl. Since I was on the anti-fungicide meds I was not taking benadryl. It stopped the itch and the rash is gone this morning. I personally think once your immune system gets one of these it takes a while to get rid of it meds or not.
At least that is what the PA for this dermo said. It has also temporaily caused me not to be able to use sunscreen. At least two kinds of sunscreen I get an immediate rash. This was not a problem before. She said that that sometimes is a side effect when a rash takes over makes the skin very sensitive but hopefully is just temporary.
If it is any consolation fungus' are the last thing because this are very unusual. Lucky me and possible you. The med has been for the most part side effect free except it gave me a rash like a heat rash (only not itching, just in appearance) for the first three or four days but took care of the itch and the rash was only on my shoulders below my neck, weird huh, and it was hot, no bumps, and then it suddenly went away and has not been back except for that thing yesterday. So again go figure.
What a pain. Good luck.
