Hello again.

July 11th I went to my family doctor w/a crack and tiny rash at the corner
of my mouth.  He gave me a cream that is both anti-fungal and cortizone
mixed and said to call if didn't help ina couple days.  Then my right
eyelid got very itchy but no marking of any kind was visible on it.  Went
to one of the doctors in my gp group again 7/13 re: eye and was told to
apply the same cream to eyelid and give it a few more days.  Yesterday
afternoon I got my routine allergy shots 4 days early to see it that would
help.  No relief so far.  I've been taking Chloretimetron to help with the
itching and now my vision is a little blurred from that eye.  I am
impatiently waiting for a call back from my a.m. call to my family
dr.  Also I took the next available appt. which is 8/18 (the soonest) of
the two dermatologists in my (check it out) county just in case this isn't
cleared up by then.  Today, the eyelid is swollen and still itchy.  This
a.m. there is a sore spot inside my cheek but don't know if I just bit it
or what.

My question, could this possibly be DH and what can I do in the interim for
relief other than  the Chloretimetron and present cream 'til I see
dermatologist?  An itchy eyelid is small potatoes in the overall scheme of
things, but it's "my" eyelid.  Sooooo, anyone care to comment,
please..............very annoying itch.  Like poison ivy sort of.

Also, gluten-free since 4/13 with the exception of 3 mistakes one of which
was that I ingested some gluten on 7/3 and then by the weekend the mouth
and eyelid problems surfaced.

Whoever said it to me first, you all certainly are a wonderful source to
turn to while I'm in limbo.  Thanks for your time.

Mary B.
