I'm covered in calamine lotion because I broke out into a mysterious rash today
Edited on Sun Jan-18-09 05:40 PM by Reverend_Smitty
I'm thinking it's just a bad case of contact dermatitis due to a new shampoo but I woke up today with a really bad rash all over my upper body, especially my neck, face and scalp. But thankfully it doesn't itch at all, it just looks gross and I can't stop staring at myself in the mirror thinking I look like some kind of leper. I sent my dad to the drug store for some Benadryl which did nothing but make me sleepy and some calamine lotion which made me look like I did a face plant into a bowl of Pepto Bismol.

What do you think the odds are that I will wake up tomorrow and this rash will be gone...yeah I didn't think the odds would be good either :(

1. george bush withdrawl
it has been 8 years since you had any hope that the country might move in the correct direction.

Your body can not cope and is having an allergic reaction.

2. Send your dad back to the store
for some over the counter 'Cortaid' cream or a similar generic. I get contact dermatitis often as I've sensitive skin. The stuff clears it up in a few hours.

4. I'm just hoping it's not chicken pox...
I've never had them before and the rash does look similar except I have no itch. I've already talked to my boss, there is no way I'm going into work tomorrow
