I had this rash last summer, that I thought was poison ivy. It was on my right arm, just below the elbow joint (top of arm). It went away when Fall came, but reappeared as soon as it warmed up this spring. However, instead of being limited to the one arm, it has now spread down that arm, is on the other arm (in the same fashion) and a spot just appeared on the top of my feet a couple of days ago.

It is red and scaly with patches of bumps. Very Itchy.

Does this sound like any kind of TBI rash?

Check out the rash pictures here, from Newbie Links

I get a rash when I have an allergic reaction to being on abx for too long a time. It doesn't look like ANY of the pictures.

Have you been diagnosed?
