so, maybe about a week ago I was wrestling with some really moldy and wet pallets to get them piled up to burn, pretty sure that's where I got this shit
first pic doesn't really show the blisters on the hands too good, and other pics are a couple days later

seems to make blisters that eventually pop and scar over
everywhere I normally scratch at because it feels good has gotten a rash with some swelling but no blisters yet

I've been hitting it with Clotrimazole cream and it seems to calm it down and slow the spread, everywhere says that should take like 4 weeks to make it go away though, and I'm almost out of it after only a couple days
I've also got some Terbinafine cream that I'm thinking I'll use once the first stuff runs out, dunno both seem to be pretty general antifungals

I've also got some nystatin yeast infection stuff, and the internet seems to say that that is only really good for yeast infection stuff and not mold
I suppose it could be some sort of yeast, those pallets were all sorts of nasty and slimy
Guess I could try putting it on one region of the rash and see if it does better than the clotrimazole stuff has been. Internet sources seem to say that it's the real nasty stuff and you should be more careful using it than the clotrimazole I've been using, but they also seem to hate on isopropyl alcohol and that seemed to be working pretty okay (though it just evaporates instantly so I was having trouble keeping stuff wet with it)

Guess the question is, any of you got some idea what the fuck's growing on me?

I don't think its the grids
while I am some ridiculous statistic more likely to die of that (or suicide) I don't think the statistics take into account that I haven't been fucked in near a decade, :\

thought about it a bit and the various creams don't seem to stay on hands too well so paper towel and a rubber glove is keeping alcohol soaking on my thumb
it really seemed to kill off the one on the web of my left hand within a day, so...

usually I use the 'paper towel and a glove' trick to keep my blood in, not alcohol

to the inevitable "see a doctor" poster:
I did that a couple years back for what I thought was a hernia, they refused to let me see a hernia doc and instead sent me to a GP that said it was a hernia, then they sent me to a hernia doc that said it was swollen lymph nodes
diversity hire GP's bill? $300
Hernia doc's bill? $120
Fuckin' pissed me off something fierce. Fuckers fucking stupid fucks like me outta their fuckin' money because they're so fuckin used to fucking over the fucking insurance fucks that it's become ridgid fuckin policy instead of just a fucking suggestion
 
Oh, it looks like the funny rash gay guys complain about...

Did you eat something lately? The stomach looks like hives-

same as usual, I do get that kind of stuff every few years, but never this bad and it lines up with the blisters that grew outta the scratches on my hands so... Correlation and causation and all that I know.
 
It looks similar to the rashes and blisters my oldest son would get when he’d weed whip our ditch. An allergic reaction to some specific weed. It would clear up after about a week.

shouldn't it stop spreading after a shower? I've scrubbed it all down pretty good 3-5 times so far, been showering every day instead of every two or three.
would be way neat if I'm just being an overdramatic **** about it though
 
I'm going with some sort of plant poison. I've got similar looking rashes from some weird vine that pops up in my yard.
 
Was there any poison ivy on the pallets? That shit can hang around for a while. If you inhale the smoke form it, that will fuck you up too.
 
I dont know about the rash, but i do know why you arent getting laid...
 
Also, from my personally itchy balls episode, any sort of cream will make it spread. Baby gold bond powder will dry it out and make it go away much faster.

Do tell, oh master of homosexual dating.

my current excuse is that my house is a fuckin' mess of a meth shack and I actually live at my mom's

^ and that. Let it dry out instead of keeping it moist with creams.
 
poison ivy is similar.

Also had hives from eating Pears that were similar but spread much further. Poison Ivy was always a hodge podge of places.

Not if it's poison ivy. cream doesn't s[pread it, the oil is already absorbed at this point and it's just how your body reacts.
 
Does it cross the mid line of your body (right to left)?

How stressful has your life been lately?

"spread" isn't just expanding outwards, it's also growing new splotches anywhere I scratch
some on an ass cheek, behind one knee, side of the neck, one shoulder... Haven't been back up there for a couple days

just took the alcohol glove off my right hand, skin's a little ashy but we'll see by tomorrow if it worked. Might be just doing the alcohol thing to all of these spots if it works

yeah, both sides, also front and back, legs and neck
so pretty much all over, only rhyme or reason is where I itch it goes red and swollen like the first pic (but somewhat further along in the last couple days)

Reasonably stressed out over not being able to dig my foundation out. Just wanna do stuff, but can't.
Maybe I should try some small scale dewatering type stuff... whoops wrong thread
Certainly not panic-attack nonfunctional like I can get sometimes.
