Carmina's Tips How to Cure Skin Allergies

Ever experience having hives or rashes on your skin well not a good way. It can be very itchy occur most of the time before you've taken a shower. I have a difficult time sleeping due the feeling you want to scratch it off. Although I notice the rash begins to spread. For me it is only temporary imagine the people who deal with it all most their whole life. In the beginning I didn't consult anyone about it started off using hydrocortisone cream thinking it would go away.  Mom Violy kept saying it is only a bug bite.  Mom Violy suggested to use a blow dry when it begins to get itchy something she does to herself.  I tried it didn't quite work for me and didn't feel like putting heat on my skin. I started taking allergy medicine it would go away but comes back the itchy feeling on your arm and legs. I started feeling uneasy. I had message my cousin Mariles who is a dermatologist and sent a picture how it looks. I explained that I had a bug bite and when I would scratch it
