scotty04901"MDJ to me is an added phase in my recovery as a 44 year survivor of a TBI. I hope that with what I have lived through in those years, will be able to help all those who are just now going through. It is important to understand that even after 44 yrs, I am continuing to recover and to evolve. I just hope I can help others." (scotty04901)

[b]I am getting fed up of bumps appearing in places that I never experienced before. I told my son's dermatologist (he deals with adults as well) and he said that depending on the individual, fibromyalia does cause certain skin problems. All I can say is this, I hope and pray that I do not experiencing anymore problems. I did my research concerning Fibromyaglia months' ago and I after awhile, I just get fed up and tired. Right now with God's help, I am just hanging on.

What kinds of dermatology problems are you having? What kind of bumps and where?

I have been getting little blisters on my hands and fingers. I can't tell anymore if this is just a new FM symptom or if there is something else going on.

My list of symptoms for the doc is soooo long, but I can only cover the most important things in the precious 5 minutes I get for my money.

I am sorry you are having this reaction with Fibro. I have not encountered bumps or rashes of any kind with Fibro but I m sure if anyone here has, they will post and see how they might be able to help you.

If it's like on the backs of your thighs and the underside of your upper arms, it might be blocked hair follicles. I get bumps and ingrown hairs and I used to try to scour them away with a loofa, which made them worse. Then I read about the blocked follicles and to use OTC cortison cream on them. It worked and now I put it on after my shower a couple of times a week. It's been a godsend on my calfs where I get ingrown hairs from shaving...I'm not itchy there anymore. Now if I could just find something for my itchy scalp...

Trystian, Hi there! I'm glad that you brought that up. I have recently gotten a rash under both of my breasts. I've been putting baby powder under them and it seems to be going away. Anyone else experiencing anything of this sort? Or am I the only weird one...lol...

Does anyone have anything like this? I get these bumps in random spots, they come and go, and they itch like crazzzzzzzzzzzzy! They are like very large bug bites, but they are only around for a few hours to a day....it's so odd, and I don't know what to do about them.

I too have started getting a rash under my breasts. But I think it is because it's been so hot here. I've had to stop wearing bras that rub and irritate the area, and baby powder helps

Recovered, yours sound like hives. I know this sounds weird but I get hives almost everyday around 5 in the eve. I get them behind my ears and along my jawline.

I have been to countless doctors to try to find the reason for these with no success. I finally figured it out on my own and went and got tested for Epstein Barr. Sure enough, I had EBV and mono.

My grandmother, aunt and myself who all have fibro get little blisters. I get them on the arch of my feet, around my toes, on the sides of my feet and alongside my fingernails. They will itch and when I scratch them or pop them they get worse. We have all tracked these little outbreaks and discover that it is when we are stressed out. So when I am really stressing about something is when they pop up. You might try tracking your diet to see if it affects the bumps as well. I was going to but then forgot. Anti-itch lotion may help to keep these little buggers at bay but other then that I just try to ignore them. Smile Hope this helps, good luck.

These bumps appear on my thighs, arms, vaginal areas(sometimes) and my buttocks and now my face. I am thinking maybe I am stressed or my diet needs adjusting. Sometimes my diet is like a seesaw. I crave for sweets and then the next day I am back to normal. I am a picky eater. Also I'm always stressed. Thank you everyone for your insight. God Bless.

I have bumps but you really can't see them but if you feel my arms face and back you can feel them.
