I am wondering if this happens to anyone else.
I seem to develop little flesh colored bumps wherever I ache or hurt really bad.
For example...2mo's ago, my left foot must have fallen asleep while I was sleeping. I woke up in the middle of the night and didn't realize my foot was asleep, until I stepped down and my toes bent backwards.
It hurt horribly, later. Since then, my foot hurts in that very area. No broken bones. Just pain to add onto the rest. But, there are little bumps on my skin there now, too.
So any of you get this?

"Two of my boys had odd reactions to poison ivy after contracting Lyme disease.
Poison ivy left scars on these 2 children; it never caused scars before Lyme. I mentioned this to the LLMD and think it is related to endothelial damage.
My youngest son with Lyme used to get patches of a bumpy, acne-like rash. The rash would be red at times, then fade, but you could still feel the rash. One infected daughter also had this bumpy rash, but hers were almost always faded. These rashes have gone away with Lyme treatment.
The bumpy rashes usually formed in places where they skinned their knees or elbows. ...but not always; sometimes they would occur on their upper arm or thigh.
These were always very circumscribed patches...not spread everywhere. "
*** This same thing has happened recently after my son had a hickey! It developed a patch of bumps that looked like poison ivy, but completely covered the spot where the hickey (bruise) was. He's been treated for Lyme. Now I'm wondering if he needs to be evaluated again. He recently had oral surgery and was on antibiotics. He seemed to have a herx, but attributed his symptoms due to hard work.
