Hey everyone,
I have been experiencing some odd skin issues in the last couple months. First it started with a pink round patch on my fore arm. At first doctor said it looked a lot like ringworm. Gave me some cream for it but it did not go away, it kind of got worse. Went to a dermatologist and he was not sure and gave me some other cream. After about 2 months, it has faded somewhat, but you can still see it, like it left an imprint of it on my arm. Anyhow, about a month ago out of the blue I got this awful itch on above my knee. I thought it was a mosquito bite as that is what it felt like. I got home and there was 2 very bright pink bumps right next to each other. I did not think much of it until the next day I got another one on the other leg on the back of my calf. Then I noticed a line of them on my right hip area. I made another apt with my dermy doctor and of course by the time I got the apt which was 2 weeks later they had already started getting better and fading. I took pics and showed him and he though it might be bug bites. Anyhow, I had not gotten anymore so we just thought it was a possible bug bite reaction. Well about two weeks ago I got another one on my lower right side of my calf and also one on the other leg. This time they did NOT itch though. Then no more for a week and boom, yesterday got three smaller ones in the upper area of my groin where he top straps of a bikini would lay if I had one on. I also got one on my right calf again. I have no clue what this is. I know people with Crohns can have skin issues. I have not been diagnosed with Crohns. but I have had gut issues for the past 2 and half years now. Had tests but they did not pick anything up. I tried to attach a pic of it but could not for some reason... They are definitely not bug bites
