Oh my gosh, what's this? Has it happened to you?

shingles?? hives?? been under a lot of stress lately?

there is no telling what it could be really..

my son done this a few times and we still have no idea what it was!

I'd go see a dermatologist if I were you!

hope you get better soon! i would at least call the doctor and see what they suggest you do.

New laundry soap or something like that? New foods? Weird how that happens!

Thanks for your feedback and concern Tiffany, Carrie, and Sheli. The only thing I could think of is the Tide. I changed the fragrence, but did it weeks ago. I am covered with them.

I'd go to a Dr. too. I've never heard of it.

You may have an allergic reaction to something you have eaten, or to a new medicine you are taking.

I'm not sure. If you have a picture of a less revealing part ;) and post it here they might be able to tell you.

Good luck - I hope you can get over this soon - sounds miserable.

I had this same thing happen to me this past Sept. I itched so bad, it was depressing. I used all kinds of stuff to try and get relief. It took a good two weeks before the itching went away. I dont know what happened for me to get this. I have never had poison before but was in a relatives garden and it was full of weeds, I had been in there the week before this and didnt have a problem, but I started itching and breaking out the next day, after I went into the garden this time. I broke out first with itchy blisters on my hands, then I had hives all over my chest, legs, everywhere but my face. I still dont know what this was all about.

I'm sorry Vickey, that is horrible.
Cherish, I'm always stressed.
Denise, it's like a red bump, that's it. All over my stomach, sides, and back. About 1/4" to a 1/2" diameter.
Monica, Sheryl and Danielle. If it doesn't go away, I guess I will have to go to the doctor's Wed.
Thanks for all your input my friends. I appreciate it.

You can develop an allergy to something you've used/worn before. I hope you can find out what caused it.

Few weeks ago, my sister changed shower gel and she got hives/rashes all over her body... and she's pregnant... She gave birth to a baby boy TODAY:)

I hope you find the solution. My sister tried 11 different creams and the last one only worked on certain areas...

Good luck and kept us posted.

I would go to the Dr. tomorrow, even an urgent care to see what it is. They can recommend a topical to help with it & medicine to take if needed.

Are you running a fever or have you a sore throat? If you so, you need to see a doc ASAP. Otherwise, it's probably a.) a stress reaction or b.) exposure to an allergen. You should still mention it to your doctor and definately make an appointment or go to urgent care if the hives become painful, spread, or if your joints begin to ache.

Jeez...I hope you feel better..

sounds weird hope it isn't contagious

See the Dr and try a 1/8 cup of pickel juice for 3 days see if it helps. I know it sounds funny but try it

Like Phyllis said.
;-) especially if you feel yukky

Oh yes, many times! I have SEVERE skin allergies. You don't even have to touch some toxins outside (such as poison ivy, oak, sumac, etc.) to have an allergic reaction to it. The wind can carry the pollen and just a small bit can get on you, then you scratch or if you are sweating and it goes right into your skin.

It could be your detergent. Medicines you've never had a problem with and all of a sudden your body has reached its limit and it says - no more. I've had that too and after years of being able to take Sulfa drugs, I no longer can.

Since I've had this happen so many times, if it is not better by the next day I definitely go to the doctor. They give me steroids and I start getting better. If I wait too long, it spreads so quickly that my throat and eyes start swelling shut. That means an IMMEDIATE trip to the urgent care facility or the emergency room.

I feel for you. I hope it's better by tomorrow. A couple of suggestions you can do yourself, take some benedryl, take a bath in Aveeno Oatmeal bath (either the powder or liquid), and put something with calamine lotion on the really red patches.

Yes, mine is caused by too much vitamin C. I went thru extensive scratches on my arms till they found out. I have to be careful not to get too much in my food.

Hi M & M----- I think I would go the doctor before I did anything, especially not knowing what is it....doing anything at this point, unless you know for sure what is it, could certainly make it worse!

Sure hope you get to feeling better soon~~~~Take care

Oh goodness! I sure hope you get better soon.

not sure hope you find out soon

i hope you can find out soon, and get some relief.

Every now and then I'll have a little rash pop up. Who know's. If it sticks around for another day or so, I'd definitely have it checked out....just to be on the safe side.

Go to see a doctor. Today. Now. Review and make a list of foods you've eaten recently, how long you've been using the "new" laundry detergent. Has there been a trauma in your life recently?
Just go.

oh my... i don't know what to tell you... hope you feel better...
Blessings...and love...

I'm thinking maybe shingles. It can be VERY DANGEROUS if not treated! Please get checked out! They can cause all sorts of nerve damage!
