I wrecked my palms again with something harsh. Either detergent, liquid hand soap or [View all]

a new wipe supposed to be for hands and not cleaning. Looks like poison or poison oak, but I haven't touched any b4 this started. Yesterday right palm got way worse, so I sought urgent care today. I saved a site on the Google that says there's an increase in bodily damage from harsh chemical stuff [antibacterial, detergent, etc.] than ever b4.

Doc visit was 2 fold actually.
I asked to be evaluated for a possible UTI. [Bladder infection. AGAIN!] Sure enuff. A mild case. I'm so sick of this crap. I did 2 AZO home tests recently and leucocloytes showed pale pinky purple. They're not 100 % accurate, but always results in positive. So on a short course of Cipro, got corticosteroid injection, start course of Prednisone Monday, and got 2 Rx small tubes of Triamcinolone topical.

Thanx one and all for letting me air this out.
Honestly, I really don't know why I'm getting dumped on constantly. O ye woman of little faith! Yah, I do question regardless.

I don't know what I'd do without you dudettes and dudes on DU. So thankful!
