COVID infections can cause or worsen mast cell reactivity issues like this. I personally do not have this sort of issue with my long covid but I know people who do. If you want to try something OTC in the US, many people with long covid will take the following together: a mast cell stabilizer like Nasalcrom or quercetin, a H1 antihistamine, and a H2 antihistamine. Since it's an environmental dust allergy, an air filter could help as well. You could construct a Corsi-Rosenthal box for a cheap option that is very high capacity, but with a typical box fan it can be noisy.
I had been considering taking quercetin for some new dietary-reactivity issues I was having, and I hadn't even considered it might help with this skin problem. Your comment is a great starting place for trying to diy this issue ๐ค thank you very very much!!!
I'm glad I could be helpful! It seems miserable to deal with. I'd be really down if I had to be careful about cuddling with my own pet. I hope you can find something that gives you relief.
