Hello, and welcome to Cathy Bumbles along.

Here's a little bit about me I'm 34, and I've had ME/CFS for about 17 years.

For the last few years I've been suffering with skin rashes that were driving me crazy with their itchy-ness and in June I got a large rash on the top of each foot that every shoes I owned would rub against.


I'd been prescribed corticosteroid creams, but I finally convinced the GP that something more was wrong.

I was referred to Dermatology, had a patch test. And two weeks ago I was diagnosed with Allergies to Balsam of Peru and Fragrance mix.

I was given a leaflet and told to avoid everything on it.  I looked up the allergies up on the internet, but there wasn't much information around.

The one thing I found out is that Balsalm of Peru and Perfumes are in EVERYTHING. And there is some conflicting information out there.

So this is my journey figuring out these allergies, I hope you join me.
