☕🌞 CHECK-IN: 3/4 Monday Monday 🎵☕

I think it’s time I go to the derm doctor this week. I noticed Friday that I started developing some small bumps on my chest and stomach and now it looks like my torso and upper arms have mosquito bites all over. They itch a little bit not terribly bad and sometimes not at all. My guy and I at first were thinking maybe I’m having a reaction to his dogs but I’ve been spending the night for 2 months now so I can’t imagine it’s that. There are a few on my back but it’s really concentrated on my belly area. I took a Benadryl just now and put steroid cream on them. Hopefully it reduces them. I’ve been having hive flare ups on my face and hands now and again so wondering if this is similar.

Any change in laundry or bathing or cleaning products? "Contact dermatitis" is wandering through my thoughts. In any case, it's good to have a dermaDoc check it out.

Lots of hugs for Reneinitaly. 💕💕

DebDoesWW, I'm so sorry you are on the doctor merry-go-round with no answers. I hope you get some with this new doc. How's your mom feeling? Could it have been an UTI? At least they gave her antibiotics, hopefully they are helping and not messing up her system in other ways.

finreporter, I agree with Diva, have you changed anything? Did your guy change dog food, dog collars/heart meds or anything like that? A trip to the derm definitely sounds like a good idea.

I had a good talk with my DB last night. My SIL got a new job and will be working M-f 9-5, the first time in her adult life! She always worked in a residential setting as an aid or LPN and did second shift and odd 4 day on 3 day off type of things.

Because she will actually have weekends off now they might be able to come down for Easter. I really hope they can, it will be nice to have them here. If not I'll go up there, but I'd like them to see how well Misfit is doing.

Sending love and hugs to all!

Happy Monday!

Just a quick HELLO! Going to go pack up my old office space and move it all to my new office (with a door, no window, but at last I have a door!).

I hope you all have a GREAT day! Positive energy to all!

We did wonder if it’s his laundry detergent! Normally I don’t have sensitive skin but this year my skin has been a mess at any given moment. I read that menopause causes skin issues and I’m not there yet but may be in the beginning stages (I’m 48 so would imagine it’s any day now).

I made an appointment for this week to go see the doctor. Today the bumps are more plentiful which is ugly and concerning. Today is my guy’s birthday and had originally planned to wear a more fun outfit but now feel the need to cover up like a nun!
