I have been in distress for the past 10 days after the initial contact with PI. Small patches of pinkish colored rash have turned into blisters on my arms, legs, torso and face. The itchiness is worse in the heat and there seems to be no comfort despite a steroid shot 2 days ago, prednizone, atarax and night time benadryl. What has brought the greatest comfort is calamine lotion...all day long! Can anyone tell me how long this usually lasts?
