Red and itchy

Last night, prior to going to work I noticed that my right shoulder was hot, red and blotchy. Hhhhmmmm nice I thought.

I went into work and commenced my shift a hour and a half later my colleague blurted out "we were wondering why your face is so red?" Is it? was my reply, a quick visit to the loo followed by peering in the mirror revealed that they were right, it was red. And itchy.

I realised that something allergic was going on, by midnight it had spread and was heading downwards, as it was busy spreading I was busy annoying the hell out of my staff by scratching. I quick search of my handbag revealed that I had no anti histamines on me but that I did have my steroid cream unfortunately it is only mild and made no difference.

By 1am my staff were threatening to switch the lights off because my face was glowing so much they felt they no longer needed to be switched on.

I have spent the night scratching like a cat with fleas and have come home feeling very sore, the redness has subsided a little but the blotchiness an itchiness remain. I am going to throw everything at it in the hope that it subsides by tonight as I feel very self conscious wandering around work closely resembling a swan vestas match!
