itchy!!!

I recently purchased some johnsons holiday skin lotion, and a couple of days after applying became really really itchy all over with various random rashes!!! It was so bad I went to the docs and they gave me some antihistamine to calm it down. They said it would be an allergy or a virus. I assumed it was the johnsons, but after 4 days of not applying i am still very itchy with out the tablets. I feel fine in myself.
Could it still be the cream even though i havent applied it for so long?

Im desperate to know cos if it isnt i'll get on with using it and get that holiday glow!!!!

xxxxx:p:

Lots of people have got the same reaction to Holiday Skin- and I got a purple rash the other day soon after putting it on, but I'm still not sure whether it caused it.

Do you have particularly sensitive skin?

i dont have particularly sensitive skin, but i have noticed in th epast when i put johnsons normal baby lotion on i get a little itchy so maybe its something they use?

Nope, that's what i thought. It's the lice. Possibly scabies too.

I have sensitive skin and have had no problems with holiday skin. Maybe they changed it since last summer which is when I bought mine.
