Ok I have a question. When I was 12 I woke up
News Years Day with a rash that covered my entire
body. I went to several docs that said it must
an allergy to something. I finally went away 2
months later. The rash was round small circles
that were raised and red. They did not itch until
a doc told me to put witch hazel on them which
dried them out. Weird small health things began
after this. Wish now that I had a pic. but I do
not. Any idea if this could have been more than
just a weird rash from an unknown cause? Just
have always wondered.
Thanks, mimi

hard to say mimi
I am no expert on rash's. But can relate my lifes experience only.
It could have been an allergic reaction to some food as a kid or even posion ivey/oak ect.. or even from a virus or fever. I had a similar rash as a kid. My mom said it was from eating strawberry's or from taking asprin. Not sure which one.
Lyme rash's come in many forms. Here's a link that show some:

Thanks for the pics Dana and tu tu I found one on treepatrols newbies. I had the uniform ovals
all over but can you have more than 1? The reason I am asking is I am trying to find out how long I have actually had this and remained ok until my traumatic loss. I had been told when I
was in college that it was from my haschimottos that I had had for 9 years untreated. So I am just trying to put the pieces of my puzzle together. Thanks for your help mimi Posts: 343 | From usa | Registered: Dec 2004
