A few months before TM, I had little red dots all over my body, so my doctor at that time took a biopsy of one and it came back as hives. Just told me that there wasn't anything he could do for me. I had rashes on my chest and down both arms few months ago. I saw two MD doctors, they both gave me different creams, which didn't work. Some of the rashes looked like ringworm, but not all of the rashes. Finally both doctors thought it would be good for me to see a Allergy & Asthma doctor. I have never had any problems with coughing, running nose, or eye watering. But the hives could have been an allergic. They did some test to see what I was allergic too. Now they give me shots with mite immunotherapy & environmental control until I have improvement of allergic symptoms. We put on a hypo-allergenic pat on our bed and use a Dove sensitive skin unscented beauty soap bar, hypo-allergenic, & fragrance fee. I'm also using a Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream. All of this has helped so much with the rashes. With our auto immune system & TM, we can now be allergic to new things, that we weren't before.
