Feeling really sluggish today. I didn't sleep well yesterday night because of rashes on both my tighs. Mind u these are not those normal red angry rashes but big bumpy rashes. The size of one rash is twice the size of an average mosquito bite.
I used to have this kind of rashes back than in sec 3 and 4. Back than I had every 3 or 4 months and it would be on my entire body including face, pumps, soles of feet and my buttocks. The worst is that it itches like crazy! And I was so swollen :( The itch prevented me from sleeping as well although I was very tired. Needless to say, I was on mc on those days.
I went to consult docs back than, eating and applying English and Chinese doctors. Finally, a famous Chinese doctor could cure me of my sickness. The oral medication, creams and lotion that English docs prescribed was of no use.
According to the English docs, it was a kind of allergic reaction and asked me to observe the food I eat or things I touch. However, after noting down what I ate and touch for the various rashes episodes did not yield any common food that I ate that might trigger the rashes.
According to the chinese doc, it is actually the body's way of getting rid of toxins. He prescribed some chinese medicine and gave me a cream to apply on my body. Eating the medicine and applying the cream, the rashes subsided in a day! He also gave strict instructions not to expose my body to wind as it'll aggrevate the condition.
Since sec 4, I did not have an episode of these rashes anymore and now it's back. Thankfully it's only on my thighs. The itch is more bearable now after the "training" in sec 3 & 4.
Hopefully, I'll get well soon! :)
