I had problems with rashes last spring. My RSD started in my upper right extremity and spread to my cervical spine and my head, but the rashes were on my stomach, my chest and my back. They itched liked crazy! (I used a pasta grabber to scratch my back - it worked very well). At the time I was getting stellate ganglion blocks every 4 weeks or so, I do not know if the rashes were related to the meds in the blocks or not. The weather was also changing, it was starting to get warm up here.
In any case, I haven't had a rash in a while. I think they lasted for about 4-5 months, and then they just went away. Very strange...I still have scars from some of the places where I scratched myself too hard...
Hope you get some relief soon...have you tried cortisone creams?
Good luck, Sandy

They would really come up after her shower. This is something to think about. Maybe it wasn't an allergic reaction.
Thanks,
