Hey Greg, I had a similar experience when I was stung by a large hammer coral (Euphyllia) in my tank. I tried all kinds of over the counter creams and of course didn't see a doctor until my arm literally looked like it was going to have to be amputated. It started just like yours but it gets much worse, like yours it seemed to get better at first but it came back with a vengeance.
What you need is a prescription for some extra strong cream, nothing over the counter will work. This is exactly what I was given which cleared me up.
FUCIDIN H CRM 2/1% (FUSIDIC ACID/HC ACETATE)
RATIO-CLOBETASOL OINT 0.05% (CLOBETASOL PROPION 0.05%)
APO-PREDNISONE 5MG
NU-RANIT 150MG (RANITIDINE HCL 150MG)

I'm giving you this cause I know how long it takes to get a dermatologist appointment and maybe you get away with a simple doctors appointment. Trust me this doesn't go away with time. In addition this whole event has somehow made me develop eczema which I'll likely always be fighting so the sooner you deal with this the better.
