After spending another sleepless night (I hated the side effects of the Benadryl), I decided to try the prescription for Prednisone.
I took three tablets at nine this morning, and it seems to be helping already.
Update on 2003-09-05: Prednisone is obviously a miracle drug. Swelling has gone down and there are no new lesions. The itching has almost stopped.
