It started about a week ago and is only getting worse. The itching is driving me bonkers. I keep putting cream on it, hoping the it gets better. Just wanted to vent (not that anybody cares).

No, don't think it's poison ivy, but some kind of skin irritation.

i had the same thing last week. it was unbearable. the next day it went to my knees, then to my feet.my hand swelled up and it was freaky. by the time i went to the doctor it dissapeared.


i hope it doesn't come back.

You shouldn't be posting here if you don't know what's causing it!

I mean, we could all catch it!

I don't think it's contagious, I think it's a skin irritation.

Actually,
I have the same problem with my hands right now. It started out as small white dots, then they begin 2 itch, then they irratate the hell outta ya. I spoke 2 a friend of mine who happens to be a nurse. He said that the hospitals have been seeing a lot of this lately. They don't know what is causing it, and it usually goes away within a couple of days only to reappear in another location. Mine problem started on my legs and is on my hands right now. I was tested for everything: food allergy, soap reaction, STD's. Nothing came back with an answer. If anyone else is suffering thru this, I recommend Aveno Skin Bath. It will help with the itching. They also make a hydrocortizone creame that seems to help. But do please see a physician.
