I didn't think anything of this stuff until a few minutes ago, when I was just browsing around and saw a picture of shingles that looked suspiciously like something I have on my left arm and hand (as well as my right ring finger).
Here's the picture I saw: Text (if you're fairly squeamish, it's a little funky-looking, I suppose, judging from the "sweetjesus.jpg" filename)
Basically, it looked like a bunch of zits, except instead of yellow stuff inside them, it's clear pus. Well, in the webbing between me middle three fingers (the two "valleys"), I had a bunch of those little things. Itched like nothing else. Well, I noticed that they were filled with pus, so I took a Students Against Driving Drunk pin and started popping them (yes, I know, stupid, but they don't itch anymore
)
I also have a milder case of this on my bicep, upper forearm, and outside elbow (the outside elbow patch is fading away now).
I got some pics, for your pleasure (not much to see, but hey). All these pics are my left arm.
Elbow - as you can see, fading away, not too bad. However, in the lower left, you can see the bicep patch, which, until today, itched to no end.
A little farther down the arm, we have some mild cases (two) on my forearm (far left and far right), and still farther down is the aforementioned fingers rash, which can be seen here. Please note that these looked like small blisters before I popped them all with a button pin of dubious sanitation.
Also, just for the whole gamut, here's the small case on my right ring finger: here
You think it's shingles? It would suck, because shingles is chronic, and flares up every so often; ergo, I'll have an uncurable malady the rest of my life.
