Comments from related studies:

• From this study (2 months ago):

It's a round rash which peels and leaves sharpish edges which catch on things - it stings when I peel potatoes! Very itchy, my doc gave me Eumovate for it but still itching and peeling.

Red, itchy rash started on back of neck, then all over except back of hands, buttocks and thighs. Now,nearly 5 months after it started, has gone, except for lower legs where it is still very obvious.Other systems still current.
