Whilst we were in Kaua'i (on the North Shore) my wife aquired a rash. This was in late March and she still has the rash. A doctor's appointment resulted in a prescription for a steroid and the rash began to disappear. As she weaned off the steroid, the rash reappeared.
She then visited our dermatologist which resulted in some oral medication and a steroid creme. This, again, had some initial affect, but it is back. The dermatologist did a biopsy and the result was that is was aracnidian in origin. Aracnidian does not necessarily mean a spider.
She has another appointment next week.
What is interesting is that the rash moves around. Sometimes it is on her wrists, sometime on her neck, sometimes on her lower back, and sometimes on her lower ribs. It itches. It is like her body can't shake the toxin.
Has any one else who has traveled to Kaua'i experienced anything like this?
Cheers,
Paul
