And if anyone knows anything, please post. It may kinda gross you out.
I dont know when the problem started. Maybe two weeks ago.
I noticed light red dots, about the size of freckles, but bigger. Hard to explain how big they are. Anyways, they appeared by my armpit (both arms), on my back, on my chest and stomach, and my inner thighs (none on my you know what).
Theres probably i dunno 40 of them overall (did'nt count).
I showed my arm to my mom 2 days ago, and she said "lets keep an eye on it." Then i showed her my arms, my back and my chest 30 mins ago. She was quite concered saying they were getting bigger (on my arm). I dont think they are. She wants to go to the doctor but i said i wanted to wait a couple weeks.
I think its because I have been sleeping on the couch. It's not chicken pox because ive had those already when I was younger. And they are not open sores (puss, blood). They look like little bites. And they do not itch at all. And i dont think its an allergic reaction.
Im going to start sleeping back in my bed and wait for the results. So I was wondering if anyone knows anything at all about what I have described. I know it sounds weird, but hey, its had to happen to someone before.
If you have any questions or concerns e-mail me crashxdjp@hotmail.com, or simply post here.
Thanks
I am posting on several forums trying to answers. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> I had something like this, only they were darker greyish/brown in the crooks of my arm, armpits, thighs, back, back of neck and chest.
Turns out it was some sorta rare disease that's caused by an unknown factor (they believe it's some sort of organism in stuff you apply to skin.) They gave me an antibiotic and I changed my deodarant from some sorta natural ingrediant stuff (noticed the spots after I started usin the stuff) and took like a weeks worth of the antibiotics (had to take 'em my entire life the doc said) Anyhow, go see a dermatologist, it could be the same thing, also change your soap, shampoo, deodarant and/or other skin care products.

I think Necrosis and cshank4 are on the right track. I have an allergy with Poison Ivy. I generally get it every year and it's typically in those hot spots. I'm not saying you have Poison Ivy, btw. Just that it sounds more in common with a rash type thing.
Try some topical Benadryl or Calamine lotion even if you aren't itching. The lotion might cool the areas and reduce the redness. And if they don't work, no harm done.
You should definitely see a doctor ASAP. It'd probably nothing serious, but you should never screw around with your health; a little inconveinence can save you a lot of trouble.
