Hi!

i started coning out in a rash which started as a few spots on Wednesday/Thursday.

i was staying in a hotel which appeared immaculate. After noticing the spots i checked the bed for fleas/bed bugs. I didn't see anything.

the rash is now all over my arms and legs. its not itchy all the time. it wasn't itchy at first.

I've been home since Friday and its still appearing to spread.

I've been taking antihistamines and been using a cream from the pharmacy for scabies. it doesn't seen to be doing anything. I've attached some pictures.

    Hi Sophie, I wonder whether it is an allergic reaction to whatever the hotel washed the bedding in. It might be worth asking them what they use - to eliminate it if nothing else.

    Have you been to your GP? That would be a good move too. A short course of Prednisolone might clear it up
