Have Rashes Breaking Out And Which Is Spreading Also
Hi I've had two cats going on 6 months. This past week I started breaking out with a rash starting with my ears. Now it is mostly on my neck and its started spreading to my arms. The only thing that's new is the younger of my cats is shedding the last of his kitten fur ( also he sleeps next to my head at night)
There is a possibility of contact allergic dermatitis due to cats hair. However, you consult dermatologist for fim diagnosis. I think you should avoid contact with your cats. You may take antihistaminics like desloratidine till you get good results. If needed, you may take steroids in tappering dose. And apply tacrolimus oint or pimecrolimus cream on the lesions. Avoid soap bath. Dettol liq may be used for bathing. Avoid woolen clothes. House dustmites,pollens and cosmetics may be kept in mind as other allergens, which can cause such allergy. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
