Evo said:A rash on your extremities, do you recall coming into contact with anything specific that could have caused an allergic reaction?
The rash is like tiny blisters that bleed if scraped, i have no other symptoms, but i have such a huge immune system i doubt if any bug army will ever get me.Evo said:Is the rash dry or oozing? Any other symptoms? Swelling in glands in your neck?
Sounds to me like a case of extra-terrestrial posession. Your body is having a normal reaction to the take over by the symbiant.wolram said:The rash is like tiny blisters that bleed if scraped, i have no other symptoms, but i have such a huge immune system i doubt if any bug army will ever get me.
How does one measure the "size" of one's immune system? Does it hang off your side like a tumor? Or does your lymph system have vessels made of ABS piping?wolram said:The rash is like tiny blisters that bleed if scraped, i have no other symptoms, but i have such a huge immune system i doubt if any bug army will ever get me.

I hope they find out what it is, or better that it just disappears on it's own.

A colleague of mine has developed a skin rash because of too much stress.
This Wiki article describes different types of rash: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rash

Not that I know of. I'm still covered with them, damn they take a long time to heal.rewebster said:It may be fleabites---anyone here have experience with those?
How is that causing the rash?wolram said:It turns out that my red blood cells are bigger than most peoples, well that is normal, but my veins are the (same size) as normal people, that is so wrong.
turbo-1 said:Woolie, I've never heard of such a thing (not surprising), but is it possible that you're insufficiently hydrated? Did your doctor suggest anything to that effect?
Far Star said:Wolram, and Evo if you're reading this,
If you have any stubborn spots try rinsing the area with distilled water after you shower.
It can be soothing.
Running you towels, sheets and washable clothes through a second rinse cycle also helps make sure there's no soap residue left to irritate sensitive skin. I usually wash new towels, socks, shirts and jeans before I use them as well. It seems possible some warehouses and the like might use chemicals to combat nasty little critters. I'd prefer to think everything if safe and non-toxic but, stuff happens.
wolram said:Thanks Far Star, the lack of knowledge of what is in our environment ( covered up by every one concerned) is a worry, but i am sure the people that make money out of us will want a significant number of us to survive to keep them in luxury.
Far Star said:I didn't think much about such things until I hand rinsed a new t-shirt while away from home. Whatever the finish was had a chemical odor and left the sink full of suds. It might be innocuous but I don't think I'd want to risk it on already irritated skin.
I save my hair shirt for that. :<)

An itchy rash is a skin condition characterized by red, inflamed skin that is accompanied by intense itching. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including allergies, infections, and skin irritants.
The most common symptoms of an itchy rash include redness, swelling, and bumps or blisters on the skin. It may also be accompanied by intense itching, pain, and a burning sensation.
The diagnosis of an itchy rash typically involves a physical examination of the affected area and a review of the patient's medical history. In some cases, a skin biopsy or allergy testing may be necessary to determine the underlying cause of the rash.
Yes, an itchy rash can be treated depending on the underlying cause. Treatment options may include topical or oral medications, antihistamines, and avoiding triggers that may aggravate the rash. It is important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
The answer to this question depends on the underlying cause of the rash. Some rashes, such as those caused by infections, may be contagious. However, most itchy rashes are not contagious and cannot be spread from person to person.
