I've been dealing with these severe skin allergies that lead to unbearable itching. A few years ago, I had a tricort 40 injection, and it really helped. The itching is getting intolerable again, and I'm thinking about getting another tricort injection. Do you think that's a good idea? I genuinely need some advice on this. Please let me know your thoughts.
