Question: Hi. I'm a 60 y/o female in good health. Had bad bronchitis 4 weeks ago, lasting a month. Put on 2 different antibiotics, then prednisone taper. Ay end of taper, I developed a wierd skin rash on arms, chest, legs. Starts out as dark brown spots, like age spots. Progresses to itching raised rash, then sores. I had cutaneuos larva migranis 5 yars ago, and it looked like that. Spread over last 2 weeks, with severe itching. I thought a prednisone reaction, but Doc said not. I also have traveled alot and stayed in hotels , so I feared bed bugs, lice, whatever. I did Nix as my head itched terribly. My doc made me feel like a fool, blew it off with"stop itching and forget about it' I have found one spot will burn horribly, and I tweeze the center, and feel I am extracting tiny bugs! I can see wings and shapes with a magnifying glass. SO... I tried topial hydrocortisone, with little relief. Tried Neosporin, as the sore are large in spots, and I worry about infection. Alas, this has caused another rash on top of original, looking like poison ivy, covering my body, and burning. I try alcohol and open air. I try sterile wound dressings so I wont itch. Nothing helps. Any ideas other than see a psychiatrist? (Im an ER nurse by trade, so should be able to fix this!)Most confusing factor is that the bumps start as brown disolorations, then evolve. I have a little bag of critters I have pulled from the paonful sores,as gross as it sounds...so someone can see the culprit??? Any ideas? I look horrible, and am embarrased to go to the ER or another dpctor.
