Allergic reaction to semax?

I made a similar post yesterday but it was early and poorly written, so it largely went ignored, and I deleted it.
I have used both semax and NASA for about 1-1.5 months. I took a month off, and then started up with NASA again because I preferred it to usual semax. I used to take 1-400ug, and this time I got the 300ug spray, doing 1-2 sprays (300-600ug per day), but I think 600 is a bit much for me.
The morning after taking it for the first time on this second round (so about precisely 24 hours later), I noticed a rash/cluster of itchy bumps on the back of my hands and my ears. I assumed it was unrelated, because I never had this last time I took semax, and kept taking it. It's been about 4 days now and the rash has only gotten worse, spreading across my hands. I've never really been allergic to anything in my life and never had a reaction like this, except to poison ivy.
I did also go out that night, so it's possible I came into contact with something at the bar?
I'm stopping all supplements, including semax, to see if it goes away, and will see a doctor soon if it persists. But I can't find anything like this documented on the internet.

Don't think so. Seems extreme.
Went to the doctor yesterday (left out the semax) and she said she thinks its a contact dermatitis, but I don't know. It's weird, because this never happened to me last time I took semax/NASA.

Could be unrelated, and just bad timing. However, a heightened immune response is not unheard of with Semax in some people.
