Weirdest thing!
Can you use a product for years and years and then all of a sudden be allergic to it? Here's what happened..
Jayden has been super clingy lately, basically needing to be held 24/7. I spent most of the weekend on the floor playing with them and he was constantly hanging off my neck and side. Monday rolled around and I was sooooo sore so I had Bobby put a little icy hot on my back and neck. I've been using it for years for my neck problems without the slightest bit of problems and I even used it a lot during Jayden's pregnancy when my neck was on the fritz all that time. It was fine, no issues at all. I didn't get a shower in until early Tuesday afternoon. Everything was still fine on Wednesday. Then yesterday afternoon my lower back was itchy and while I was scratching, it felt bumpy so I looked in the mirror and sure enough my entire back was covered in a rash. It's tiny red raised bumps and it's still there today (it's a tad more itchy today). The itching is not bad, if I don't think about it then I can get away with it not bothering me.
I figured since it's just on my back it must be some kind of reaction to the icy hot. I have no other problems (fever, etc.) but I am just getting over a touch of the cold. Jayden and Peyton ended up with it again last week (the cold). Although it seems a little weird for it to show up 3 days later so I wanted to get some other opinions on it! Nothing else was different (soap, anything I ate, etc.)
