Cat Scratch Turned Bumpy?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hey all. I've been allergic to cats for a long time but seeing as I've always had one in the house until recently it's been under control. My Dad and Step-Mom recently got a kitten (who is freakin adorable, btw!!) and she's super-playful. SO much so that she climbed all over my chest, arms and head. Fine, it's never been a problem before. But not I'm covered in little NOT red bumps that itch like hell.

Has anyone else had issues with this? How did you help it go away? I'm taking an antihistamine before bed every night so I can sleep but I can't wear tank tops or anything because it looks like I have an extreme can of acne.

As thanks, a picture of the adorable kitten.

I love cats! I am allergic to them too but have always had one for as long as I can remember. My skin burns like nobodies business if I get cat saliva (licking) on my skin, my skin swells and gets very red with a scratch and it's insanely itchy if my kitty rubs on me. My face itches if she sits next to me too, crazy huh?

I don't do anything with mine, I take the good with the bad. I don't know what to tell you but wanted to say that I know the feeling!
