Mari,

GREAT job on getting to the skin doctor's! He sounded very thorough in running a culture. Now you can relax.

It is a good sign that he felt safe prescribing steroid cream. If there is no infection, you might well be cleared up - or close - by the time the lab results are in.

-------
So... he thought it might be an allergic reaction to mango? You have had mango before, I thought, no? Maybe this was a different variety or there was something on them? Weird.

Then again things we haven't reacted to before can sometimes trigger allergic reactions. Stress level increases susceptibility too.

I hope you get some good rest tonight.
