First - I feel a slight itch. As I gently rub the itch, it itches more intensely quickly until it becomes a driving me crazy itch.

Next - I feel a small, soft bump under the skin.There is nothing to see at this point.

Then - a small maybe dime size flat, pink spot appears on the bump.

There are fewer than a dozen of these places on my body - not clumped.

This has been going on for over a month.

Some itch a few times and seem to disappear. Some itch a few times and, suddenly, there is what looks like a water blister on the flat, pink spot.

2 of those have gone away within 4 or 5 days, but they're still there - small, flat, pink and itching like crazy.

1 of these seemed about to pop. I put antibiotic cream and a bandaid on it for over a week with no change, It has gone down some, softened some and seems about to return to the flat stage.

Regardless of the stage, they all itch. I know better than to use nails. I
h on and around them but.... Anti itching cream.
, antihistamine..... Nothing!

My family doctor doesn't know what it is, but tends to agree with the neuropathic itch after I showed him my internet research.

No specialist in my small town, and I'm not able to get out of town to see one, so I'm praying one of you can give me some info or suggestions. Odd guesses would be better than nothing!!!!

Many thanks in advance,

Jon
