Guest guest Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Has anyone ever heard of/experienced an allergy to evening primrose oil? I started taking it a few weeks ago, and about a week ago I started having itching on my calves, which turned to red bumps when I scratched them. Then the itching and bumps moved to my knees and the backs of my thighs but seemed more like hives, and now it's on my arms. At first when it was just on my legs I thought it might have been an organic shaving cream I started using about 6 weeks ago, but I didn't know why my armpits didn't break out ;o)... so when it started spreading, I figured it must be something I'm taking internally. Evening primrose is the newest thing I've added... does anyone know how long it takes for an herb to get out of your system (how long should I not take it and be able to see improvement if it's what's causing the problem)? Thanks! Tracy in Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
