Could a cat allergy be causing my rash for 3+ months?
We adopted the cats in 2021 there both 2y, I love cats! I knew I have allergy to cats, At friends house I petted her cat, and rubbed my eye bc it was itchy. No issues over the years but in 2022 I was at family members house I was petty their black lab. I felt like there was a eyelash in my eye so I rubbed after a couple of hours my skin was red. I went to get a allergy test and it turns out I am allergic to cats and dogs mostly dogs, and that I had asthma. 9-2023 I got a rash on the left side of my neck started small but now hand sized. It’s still going on it started out a index finger long now it’s size of a hand. Earlier that month I went to uc for asthma attack. 664
They gave me 2 corticosteroids on was a shot. And I noticed the rash soon afterwards. It went from red to scaly/leathery I tried aloe vera, eurcin, hydrocortisone, a cream for redness and itchiness and vapor rub still no change. 11-9 I was prescribed a fungal cream 2x daily, helped for a week but it stopped working after that I asked what else what I should and they said to to continue it and now it’s spread to middle of neck. I didn’t use any new soap, shampoo, Lotion, perfume or deodorant. There’s no way I would give away my cats, one is a Russian blue, hypoallergenic And a black cat. Could cat allergy cause a rash 3+ months? Was it dormant before? 664
