Ok, so I've been getting a red itchy spot on my left palm by my thumb about the size of a quarter during a flare up. Well, now there's one on the back of my left calf, on my inner left thigh and one on my top right thigh. They itch like a mofo. I know it's not a bug bite because they are in the same spots every time. Does anyone else experience this? Here's a picture on my instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BQJRgGMjseX/?taken-by=scribeshelly

Don't look to the past, there's nothing new there for you.

Show the picture of these skin lesions to your doctor. Keep track of new foods or anything you could have been around that would have caused this. Chances are it is autoimmune cause all these autoimmune diseases seem to result in weird skin issues off and on. Good luck. Irish

If you can't see a doctor quickly - take photographs and show a doctor those!  :)

I've actually narrowed it down to a likely culprit. I posted in a different thread, but I believe it's the antibiotics. The last time this happened, I was on a high dose of clindamycin and that kicked my bum. Looking back, any other time I was on antibiotics (within the year) this occurred. The weird thing is, once the blister popped, the itchiness went away.
