[QUOTE="Coastal Redneck, post: 185092, member: 11287"] I looked closely at skin rash photos on multiple websites, and I don't believe this is eczema... plus it doesn't exhibit all the other classic signs & symptoms of eczema. I'll set up an appointment with a doctor when I get a chance, but I'm leaning toward some sort of allergic reaction, maybe a low-grade infection of some sort? Possibly from cleaning up that funky shop when I first arrived? I'm gonna try some cortisone first, just to see if it makes the rash go away. I don't feel any ill effects at all: no fever, no stiffness, no joint pain, no headache or dizziness, no fatigue, nothing, zip, zilch, nada, which is why I'm trippin' on the red dots... :cautious: Ya know, I was stung by a bee awhile back and had an allergic reaction to that, with broad but painless red stripes down the underside of my arm, and I had NEVER been allergic to bee stings, even though I was probably stung fifty times in as many years. Perhaps my body is changing somehow with age, or I need to get myself screened for some obscure condition which produces results like these. I've always used El Cheapo Suave Shampoo, with a little Pantene Pro-V thrown in now and then... what if I've developed some sort of allergic reaction to the chemicals, same way I seemed to suddenly develop an allergy to bee stings? :confused: I've also used the El Cheapo XTRA laundry detergent from WallyWorld for decades, relying on large volumes of water and laundry machine agitation to handle additional detergent, AYE? Me beloved mum used to use a detergent developed for sensitive skin... could it be that my family has some sort of reaction to certain chemicals over time & age, even if we used the cr@p for decades earlier with no ill effects? It's weird, because I actually feel BETTER than I have for awhile, since I'm now working a decent job and my situation is much more secure, relieving me of stress and whatever stress-related effects might appear. o_O Arizona has a dry climate for much of the year, and the fact that I'm taking two showers practically every day may have something to do with this skin condition. But I don't care how early it is, I don't leave the house in the morning without taking a shower, I'm not the kinda slob that shows up to work stinking like a f#%ng bum... and given the nature of my job, dealing with a lot of dust, grease, etc., a second shower is almost mandatory, as I like sleeping in a nice clean bed.
