Painful makes me think of the herpes virus. Did you have chicken pox? Have you been around anyone who could have it? I had a rash once that itched so bad I wanted to rip my skin off. The dermatologist said it was one of the 3 dozen or so variants of the herpes virus. So maybe it could be that. Sarna lotion helps a bit. Ask the derm. about that. I think you should go in. Can't anyone else babysit?!!! Friends, family? There must be someone, like a day care, that can handle them for a couple of hours. If not, call the dermatologist and see if they can work around YOUR schedule!!!

Or maybe Teresa is right and it's dermatitis herpetiformis. Ask them to think about that too.

Ask lots of questions, if you get in. Like would an anti-viral help. They have to figure out what this is. Your MG could get worse if they can't. I hope you can get in and that they figure all this out!
