Help me identify this rash. Please! ( Updated )
It was not a spider bite. It is shingles. Its now scabbed. Glad to have an answer and to know nothing bit me at all.
Have a goodnight all. =)
First off, I had a " bite " on the back of my neck. I woke up with an itchy welt that now looks like a pimple.It doesnt itch but it is tender around my hair line.
I noticed that same day I have two red " blotches " on my throat area. Later that day they came to itchy bumps. I have a HUGE HUGE HUGE fear of bedbugs. I went to urgent care to rule out scabies/bedbugs because alittle girl I watch had scabies. My son or fiance' have not had any bites or rash. At all. The Urgent care doctor said It didnt look like either that perhaps I had been bitten by a spider. I had an exterminator come check my house and he said he didnt see anything or signs. I still worry. This is what my throat looks like now. With cream on it.
Thank you.
Quoting AngelNCO:Ouch...... I have no idea, hope it gets better : )
It's probably just a little eczema. Put some cortisone on it. It should clear up in a few days.
I have spots like that all over my body. I know they suck, and I'm sorry you have them!
Are they dry? Flaky? DON'T put vasoline or any oil on them. It will get worse.
They seem to be scabbing up. But I just found a post on " the doctors " that made me feel alittle better. It looks alittle like mine. Thank you for your input =)

Just in case it isnt eczema, Im using triple antibotic cream. Thats what gives it the vasoline look. Is that okay or will it make it worse? I noticed as soon as I put it on there it started to itch?
