Someone was mentioning on the highway the other day that there's a rumor FF might make a comeback in Chicago early next year. I really hope it’s more than just a quick stop for the tourists...😁
If that's the case, maybe I can actually help you out with the medication side of things too 😁
I’m not sure exactly what your dermatologist put you on, but personally—since I’m allergic to chromium and nickel, though miraculously my belly button is always fine while the rest of my body takes the hit 😁—using Hydrocortisone in a base cream helps quite a bit. Not sure if you've tried that yet. Either way, you really ought to head back to the doctor so they can run some tests; just make sure to EMPHASIZE to them that you suspect it's a metal allergy. 😁 At least then you'll know what to stay away from. And hey, if it really is chromium or nickel, that stuff on your neck and wrist could easily be coming from your jewelry. (Like white gold or cheap costume jewelry; you shouldn't have a reaction to real silver or gold).
I can't really offer much advice on how to calm the redness down, but I might be able to help you pin down the cause. Honestly, most people who have a nickel or chrome allergy end up with irritation right around the navel because of those metal buttons on jeans that are usually made from those exact materials. Take a look—is the redness roughly in the spot where the button touches your skin?
