Ok, I posted last week about these weird thingies on my legs. I showed my derm at my appt a week and 1/2 ago and she said that they are "insignificant".

She told me not to scratch off the top layer of skin off of them.

They do not itch, but they are multiplying. Everyday I wake up with more of them.
they are small raised red bumps (look sort of like an ingrown hair). I wouldn't even know that they are there except that I see them. They cause "0" symptoms.

They have a thin skin on top and when I scratch it off, it is red underneath.....

I can think of nothing else but die-off of some sort. It started when I started mepron/zith.

Anyone have anything like this? It is really annoying me at this point.

Feelfit--

I have those as well. In fact, throughout this disease process I've had an interesting array of rashes. The first, of course, being the bullseye rash....Then, with treatment with IV and oral abx, I got these pimple-like rashes on my chest and back...

Now that I'm off abx but doing Vitamin D, NAC, and glutathione (major detox)and immune support I am getting the exact rash you are describing on my face.....Sometimes with that particular rash, Benadryl cream will help it....As you know Benadryl can help with some herxes as well...

I had these....when I started Alinia and Cholestrymine.

For me, they were on my stomach. And they WERE tiny ingrown hairs. Yuck. I did scratch them, and they were just....that.

I stopped Cholestrymine (not because of this harmless-seeming-rash) and also, my Doc had me put Castor oil on my stomach.

Either way, the 'rash' went away...
