It was soooo reassuring to see all the comments. I went to the doctor 16 days ago (about 2 days after I started to break out), and she said that I would continue to break out for about 10 days. I was sooo irritable, especially after the 10 days lapsed and I was still miserable. My rash started on my neck and face... then went to my arm, then my legs. Oh, boy... the welts and extent of the rash were overwhelming! I look like a freak!!! I've been wearing long dresses so that no one looks at my legs. I now feel a lot better, but the rash is this big, dry solid mass, with several lines where the welts are subsiding. I only hope that I don't get severe scarring. How long does it take for the patches to disappear?
