Hi Kathy,
How's Scotland? I'm about 1/2 German and 1/2 Scottish and always hope to be able to go to Scotland sometime. If I ever make it, I'll let you know and maybe we can get together!

My rash started on my back, then my tummy just under the bra line, then the inside of my thigh, then just started getting single bumps of it dispursed all over including my chin and nose. The bumps are red, develope fairly quickly, full of fluid and eventually scab over. Mine itch terribly at times. If you have a rash that won't go away, I really think you should get it cultured if you haven't gotten a definite diagnosis on it. There are the blood tests, but smetimes they can be interpreted as your having had cold sores or shingles in the past - they're not always indicative of a current infection.

Are you on steriods now? What kind of creams have you been using on your rash?
Steroids should take care of eczema or psoriasis. That's why we were pretty sure that the former dx's I had gotten were not correct for my rash.

Talk to you soon!

Becky
