allergy to rhus tox?
8 days ago I developed what was originally thought to be shingles on my arm, though it was soon bilateral. After 6 days it was very itchy, and I applied rhus tox ointment. Since then, both arms have gone crazy: masses of blisters, swollen and very hot skin, etc. It is unbearable. Today I saw dermatologists who took skin biopsies etc but said it looks most like a severe plant allergy. Could I have reacted to this extent to rhus tox ointment?sdudley on 2004-05-06
