I've had so many strange health related issues this past three years.

The latest is a rash.

It started as a circle on my inner thigh and it was right when I was considering having a female procedure done so I had been to a gyno. Had all types of things done that way and I actually thought I could have picked something up there.

It was a large ring on my inner right leg.

Well in about two weeks it went away.

You could see where the rash had been but the actual rash was gone.

Well now it's spread to my inner arms and I noticed it all over my derrière also.

It's small sometimes looks like little whirls is red and raised.

My face itches and my neck also but no visible rash there.

It flares at times during the day and I think more than anything just scares me.

I have no idea what it is if it shows up on my arms later I'll take a picture.

The one day with it I felt so sick and thought I'd go to a doctor....well the next morning when I got up it wasn't even visible.

I do have extensive food allergies and only have about 6 foods I can eat.

If it is food related I don't know what to do.

I'm already so limited....

I am on no meds due to the extensive allergies.

It's possible it could be detergent related. Since I cannot handle fruits at all except for banana I thought I could be salicylate sensitive which is in most detergent.

I had washed my clothes in baking soda for about a week and it seemed to improve at that time so I might try that again....

I'm afraid of soap and shampoo.

I usually bathe in warm water only and use soap sparingly.

I'm also afraid to wear make up now.

I tried to wear it one day and my body was reacting to it the whole time I had it on.

My body has become so ultra sensitive to the environment that I can barely function normally,

Food odors send me into a horrible response.

This seems to just be getting worse and worse for me and some how I feel like I am allowing it to happen?

Perhaps you should get checked for Limes disease.....this the season...

Hugs

possibly ring worms? just throwing that out there. also - maybe you are starting to develop sensitivity to a med you are taking. it happens. have you started one recently or changed dosages? yes, it could very well be from detergent since you have such bad skin reactions anyway. bless your heart! i get horrid rashes when i smell flowers. i couldn't imagine having all the allergies you have...

I hope you can get checked out soon even call a nurse hotline or a walk in place. what do you think it is as a nurse?

It kind of looks like hives.

I read other accounts on the internet of them.

The redness will completely disappear at times but if I hold my arm up I can see the elevated blotches.

According to the people's stories I read about on the internet they seem to come out in flares and last for several months at a time and then go away for a while.

In most cases a cause cannot be found.

So far the rash is not getting worse it maybe getting a bit better to staying the same. I expect it will most likely go away at some point and I just won't know what it is.
