let me tell you about my rash. it's on my shins, a little on my arms and now on my stomach. very slightly flakey (ugh) but otherwise just bright red spots, some blurring together. no other symptoms...

Have you touched a plant in the garden? I get something similar when I touch Jasmine. Try the pharmacist in the morning.

really, just from handling a plant? hmm, well the last bit of gardening I did was a couple of days before any rash. doesn't seem to be fading. good job not bikini weather...

Mine could be allergy tho, so DH hmm

good luck with yours....if it is sreading you need to get it checked, may be allergy, may be a form of excema??

have had excema in the dim and distant past. Hmm, can't decide if it's spreading or improving. Umm, seems to be both. I don't do illness. smile

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
