About 9 months ago, I broke out with what I thought was an allergy to flavored coffee creamers. The neck area was red rashy and the face itched tremendously. My eyelids were swollen, feverish and very itchy. After a couple days, it subsided. I eventually went to have allergy testing done and took Zyrtec which didnt help much. I went to the dermatologist who said it was psoriasis but from picture it didnt look the same as psoriasis.

The only thing that stood out in my memory is that one evening I fell asleep on a feathered pillow, I woke up and my neck was broken out. The same thing happened when I placed a feathered Boa around my neck. With this I came to the conclusion it was an allergy. However, eliminating all feathered items from my household did not eliminate the problem totally.

I was taking a Fish, Flax and Borage vitamins (Omega 3) for hair damage repair when I noticed that it helps the symptoms. If i miss a day or two, the symptoms will become more intensed.

I do use MAC makeup (foundation)  but not on my neck. I am tired of itching.

An allergy is the immune system's over-reaction to a normally harmless substance called an allergen.
