I got a few blisters last Tuesday/Wednesday on my inner arm, and they itched, so I used some anti-itch cream. Well, by Friday, they were not going away, and I had more pop up on my hand, so asked a friend who is an avid outdoors kinda guy, and he said that it looked like poison ivy, so I got the pink stuff. Saturday, I started to get small clusters of small blisters on my other hand and arm. Sunday, I got this MONSTEROUS blister on my knuckle and on Monday, small breakouts on my legs. I thought I must have been a freak case of science, but thankfully, I found this site. I have read here that first timers like us can take up to 10-14 days to get all the symptoms, not something that I was happy to read. On a side note, I bought some Zanfel today, check it out on the products page of this site, and am hoping that I can kick this nasty reaction.
Good luck to you... and me
Samantha
