I lost CholU when I was a teenager.. Now it's back again!

My CholU spontaneously quit happening when I was a teenager, thank the heavens for that relief.. Now, 17 years later, it has come back again. I believe this is due to severe dry skin, so I should quit having breakouts once I clear my skin up again (I used to have an excellent skin care routine as an adult).

I am a general contractor, and have been unable to work the past couple weeks since the CholU has come back. I can't perform the hard, manual labor necessary to do the job without breaking out... It's getting to the point where I'm having anxiety attacks about working and breaking out, which just makes the breakout that much worse. I almost feel like I can't work construction any more and have to switch career paths because of the CholU (or file for temporary disability; I also have other disabling factors if I go that route).

Does anyone else get severe nerve pain from CholU? If it were just itching, I'd be fine, but no it feels like I'm on fire. I would be open to any solutions... I have to take every-increasing doses of benadryl, which keeps symptoms at bay sometimes, but tolerance comes quick.

This is mostly just me venting. Thanks for listening.
PS. If someone says it's just hives, that they get hives and are fine, I'm going to go nuts. It's not normal itchiness
