whee -- ibuprofen allergen?

[trochee]

last night my back neck face and scalp started itching. My usual psoriatic regions (not too bad) turned bright red and a little puffy, and itched.

Unfortunately, I'm still on a whole cocktail of drugs from the wisdom teeth extraction. So I'm not certain what it was; I put (well-diluted) tea-tree oil on the itchy regions; it got better; I went to sleep.

I awoke with more itching at 6:00 or so, and the itching has persisted (mildly) all day. People keep asking me what happened; apparently I look sunburned.

So I'm going over to the emergency consulting nurse at the U health clinic -- i would like to have some suggestions about what I can take to reduce this. bleh.

not a fun way to celebrate imtboo's birthday. :/

I've been having an itchy puffy eyelid problem and just started taking a claratin a day. It's pretty much gone. You can get it really cheap at Hall Health... Teh generic form.
