Title: help ;____; (Diagnose me again)
Post by: Sam on August 16, 2009, 10:02:11 AM
so I wake up this morning, wash my face, brush my teeth, etc.  Get downstairs, sit at the computer, whatever. I guess my arm is itchy, but I just keep scratching it and don't really notice.

And then I look down. My arm is bright red. This was kinda to be expected because I have sensitive skin and i've been scratching the hell out of it. But it also looks funny. Because IT'S COVERED IN LITTLE BUMPS ;____;

And then I look at the arm and, although it's less red, there are also tons of tiny little bumps. They extend in the same pattern on the underside of my arm around onto the back of my hands. The bumps are so small though, it looks as if I've been sitting on my arms and there's an imprint from the couch or something.

I assume this is an allergic reaction to something.. but all I ate yesterday was pizza and it was from the place I always go. I've also been wearing tee-shirts, so I'd assume it's not clothing related. Really nothing has changed tat would cause me to have a reaction that I know of.

*GASP*
I dyed my hair yesterday. Twice. It was a brand I've used before.. but you never know.

anyway. I need to know how long this is going to take to go away. I'd go see the doctor except:
a) I hate the doctor
b) I don't think I have health insurance
c) my parents are out of town

The bumps and itchiness might be completely unrelated or even have came about because of the excessive scratching so I wouldn't worry about it unless they start showing up on other parts of your body where you begin itching cause that would show its spreading.

well I don't think they came FROM the scratching because they were on my left arm as well, which I hadn't scratched. My left arm wasn't itchy for awhile either.. now it is though.

I hope it's not the pizza from last night, 'cause I'm having more.  doodella;

Um... guys? It's spreading all over my face and neck. It spread to my face before I ate the pizza though, I'm going to continue saying it's not the pizza's fault.

My camera's dead and I'm not sure you'd be able to see them on film anyway.
