His PMLE will last for months at a time. It's medium sized patches of skin that are raised; maybe 1 1/2-2 inches in size, they are very red and inflamed for months at a time near his ears and around his eyes at times. It causes a great deal of pain for him; and even with medicine at night he will scratch and scratch, and keep me up all night. Also; his and our daughter's allergies are really reactive in the springtime with the cotton wood, spruce and mold in the air. You could be onto something there. He's suffered from PMLE since he was in his early 20's; we have not found the miracle cure for it yet, just small ways to treat his symptoms and make it easier on him. Also, when he travels he will make sure and grab a clean pillow and pillow case from home; he's had bad allergic reactions from sleeping on hotel or other people's bedding, bleach used in the bedding seems particularly bothersome. I must wash everything in the clear or free type laundry soaps. I only use bleach when I must; and re-rinse when I do.
