Shortly after I posted my rash FINALLY started to subside. My doctors and I have a strong suspicion that I kept re-infecting myself when I cleaned my apt/car/laundry etc. Despite the hives I first experienced from using the steroid cream I started back up on it since it would relieve the itching.

In the end my remedy consisted of; Technu and Fal Naptha on myself in the shower, Fels Naptha to wash absolutely every single thing I touched, repetitive washing of my towels and clothes in Fels (which is god-sent since it is cheap), chinese herbs Xiao Feng, and Triamcinolone (steriod cream). After 7 weeks of suffering I am finally healed ! *fingers crossed
