I had the same thing. My doctor told me NOT to put on that triple antibiotic cream which they have now determined causes allergic reaction in 15% of people - in fact he told me to throw it away. He gave me some heavy duty prescription stuff that seemed to stop the itching and help the discoloration. I also took two Benedryl at night to stop the itching and help me sleep (per the doctor). About a week after I started taking the B1 I actually broke out in major hives and when I looked up B1 and hives, it apparently is a not so uncommon side affect. I stopped taking it and haven't had another break out.
