Sometimes, when the hives are really big I use an antihistamine spray for bug bites and such. This helps short term enough to sleep.
Next day the rash is manageable.
But it still itches and so on.
Maybe my issue is just eczema.

My rashes/blisters start at about 5 mins in the water, give or take. Once the pain starts, I can't think straight as the pain is too much. It's like being poked with hot rods.
I go to the kitchen and wash my arms/hands with dish soap but the pain is still there.
The only thing that takes it away is polysporin applied overnight. And that takes the pain away only after a half hour or so.

I still have blisters and such on my right forearm now due to having my arm in the water last night - from knuckles to elbow.

I know its probably good to know what is causing the reaction but wouldn't no reaction be better? Why not wear gloves if this is a constant issue?
