ive posted the photos on my profile to see if anyone out there has seen this or knows anyone that has had it it just came on out of no where 2 weeks ago and it started burning.

It faded within an hr.

this arm is the arm that I am getting mysterious feelings in.Its always going cold, and it gets 1 spot in the forearm that goes numb that I was told was fibromyalgia.

it seems to be progressingand its gets kinda limp sometimes (or I should say weaker and colder than the other arm

So, I am not a doctor. But those look like the streaks my son has on his back. He has Lyme and Bartonella.

Our LLMD told us his were bartonella streaks.

They started to fade after several months of oral antibiotics. They still come back and then we know to treat him again.

I hope that helps. But I am not a doctor, so I can't say for sure if they are the same thing.

thaks all for the replys

It is so scary and came out of No where

I have been worsening of all kinds of symptoms.

I posted another long drawn out post describing some of these symptoms and wondering if these streaks combined with my other symptoms were something else too

It looks like Bart, but it could also be ugh I do not remember what it is called, but it basically you are allergic to your own touch.

And anytime you touch yourself, very lightly it leaves marks, well it is acctually anytime something touches your skin.

I know a couple others had this once they started treatment, if you want the name of it let me know.

But I think it looks most like Bart

I am not a doctor, what advice I give is from my own experience and things I've learned through others.

Looks like Bart. Do you get welts if you scratch? That's called dermagraphism and chronic urticaria.
