Default Tracy , the itching is different

They are filled with fluid just like blisters you get when you really do burn yourself but I actually scratch myself because it itches so bad. When the blister breaks I have a very raw open wound. It will eventually scab over but it is extremely soar to touch. The least little bump and I go through the roof. It takes months for them to heal up. I usually get more than one when I get them and sometimes they are side by side and sometimes on different limbs. I get them alot on my hands and arms and sometimes my feet. When they finally do heal they leave nasty looking scars. Is it a possibility that I have what you guys are fighting or do you think mine are different?

Thank you,
Tracy
Tracy thank you for posting, the hives you have do start out sounding like lesions, esecially since they appear when you are stressed however my lesions never itch. I could not scratch them they are way too painful to touch. So yours do seem to be different from mine at least. I have never had itching as any component of my rsd- but many others may. My lesions appear when the pain is not controlled under at least a level 8 for a sustained period of time- then of course the stress comes in to play. They do sound different from mine. I am sorry you are having such a time with these, be careful of infection. take care, cz
