hi jbug ,

just seconding january's comments - it sounds like contact dermatitis to me (although i'm no professional by any means, just someone who's had the misfortune of getting hives in the past few weeks). with hives - they appear on one part of your body, go down, and show up somewhere else. so at the moment, i am cycling through having some on my neck, then on my stomach, then on my thighs. each rash last only a few hours or so.

hope the cream works for you quickly!!! i have a friend who gets a bad, red rash around her mouth when she eats mangoes too.
