Weird Rash

Post a new topicby cabman1230 on Wed Jul 02, 2008 5:13 pm


About a week ago when i was at the beach (the first day) i noted i had a single red bumb/elevated area on my skin. I just figured that it was posion ivy and didnt pay any attention to it for another week. Then it started to get really bad it starts on the back of my arm between my elbows and armpits and goes down to my waist and wraps around my abs and lower back. It looks identical to posion ivy/oak but theres no itch and it doesnt ooze. Hopefully ill go to the doctor soon like tommrow or the next so that i can get it diagnosed. If u have any comments or ideas please share them with me.
