I racked my brain—was it the suspiciously cheap sushi I ate for dinner? The alcohol-drenched lifestyle I was leading? The dust bunnies-turned-basketballs gathering around my bed? While my anxiety mounted, my rash burned brighter, spreading to my neck. I finally fell asleep after slathering myself with Benadryl cream, and woke up the next morning, rash-free...
