Today unexpectedly I got quite an itching fest going on. More than I've noticed or recalled before. It led me to call a dermatologist I've seen once to get in. I thankfully can get into them next week. And I did it because it led to what looks like a rash at least on my leg. It's hard not to scratch but you know you could get an infection if you do at least at length. I'm trying to rub or dab otherwise but it's still hard to ignore
It started out with the usual got a little scratching feeling… read more

Do you have those little white spots anywhere else on your body? Do they ever get any juicy stuff like you sometimes get after you've been bitten by ants?

Oh I don't have shingles, it's just under one small section on the back of the left leg and it calmed down today to not be raised but I still see the spots. And it doesn't itch at this time after I slept. I think my immune system is just going very active. I'm relieved to see other people say they have similar spots because we must have something with a connection here then. It's been so long since my PSA or p has acted up that it's like starting over some symptoms may be new? Or they're long forgotten about before either case it's not a winning situation. I'll find out from the dermatologist for sure. I have a sister who had shingles and she said it's the worst pain you could imagine. She never wants it again. I didn't have pain I just had intense itching. And I mean in my scalp and it travel to my area below my neck on the left side it was on the upper leg that I had the flesh colored bumps but I don't see those today but I still see the red little pin marks on the back of my left leg where the rash is. Gladly it's not painful and not itching at this time. But these things come and go, I'm thankful symptoms don't linger but confused about why they flare so much at when they show up.

Hope everyone has a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend
