strange question - allergy

[LeneHorse]

strange cos it'm me that has the allergy not my horse! My hands and arms are covered in red itchy patches and my eyes are constantly watering. Been like this over 1 month. I think it is handling the big bale hay thats causing it. Even wearing gloves does not help. Dr said it was excema and prescibed dibrobase cream which made it worse. Has anyone else has this and how did you get rid of it??
PS tried to post this yesterday but my pc crashed so i hope i've not put it on twice

Ooooh not nice - no ideas - but can you go into Boots and have an allergy test done straight away now??? Maybe an idea!!

I get the same from my big bale hay (and strangely from Gens whiskers!!).

I simply take an anti-histamine. Found the best one to be Boots own Hayfever and Allergy tablets and they have a 2 for 1 offer atm.

I get the same. I would recommend getting an allergy test done, just to make sure it is that.
