Great. Now I'm scratching my head.
VERY CAREFULLY.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Do you have any clue at all as to what sets it off?
It might be eczema, or the current working theory is sort of an allergy overload-- so that it doesn't really matter what it is, if I get over a certain threshold of allergy (seasonal, dust, whatever) my skin starts to rebel? But who knows-- no health professional seems really helpful and I don't seem to have the energy to go from person to person convincing them that this is not because I am fat! My eyelid

It sounds like you're allergic to bad doctors. Have you gotten that response from an allergist?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
My former roommate lost both taste and smell in a car wreck. We had to watch him like a hawk, because he was always doing things like drinking spoiled milk. He also once had a family of "cats" living under his porch. Black and white stripey cats....

I have an appointment, but haven't seen one-- this is mostly the dermatologist. My PCP is just like WTF!?!?! and told me to try Allegra!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Sorry to shift off tangent, but my brain is only firing on half cylinder today.
I know I'm not supposed to just go ahead and eat the still not moldy bits but I've been doing it all my life
Wait, really? But isn't cheese just controlled mold to begin with? What's wrong with just cutting off the icky bits? I've been doing it all my life too, unless it looks really unappealing in which case it goes into the bin. But that's not an abundance of caution, that's just me admitting to myself I'm not gonna eat it.

Oh dear, Liese.
Sophia, I agree with the advice to see an allergist. Dermatologists are surprisingly vague about how to treat itches and rashes. Then again, I go to my dermatologist to keep an eye out for skin cancer, NSM for the eczema.

Sophia, I hope you get some relief soon.
My allergies really didn't bother me much while I was pregnant, but they hit like a ton of bricks this week.

Dermatologists are surprisingly vague about how to treat itches and rashes.
When I dated Marti the Medical Student, she said Dermatology only had four things to learn.
If it's wet, dry it.
If it's dry, wet it.
If they're on steroids, take them off.
If they're not on steroids, put them on steroids.

Yeah, any hard cheese always just gets the mold cut off and the rest eaten. Softer cheese like brie, cream cheese, or sour cream (which is not really cheese, I know) that has mold is something I'll toss out entirely.
