Sounds like shingles. I had this problem several years ago and they were very itchy for me. Get some calamine lotion and apply it to the blotches. Also, try to relax. Shingles can be caused by stress.

It could be shingles as the previous reader stated, but it can also be other conditions as well. I had a simlar issue and it turned out to be tinea corporis, or fungal vitiligo. The spots appear red, flat at first and then become slightly raised. If you get a tan the spots remain lighter than the tanned skin around the spots. They itched a little as well. I was given a heavy-duty antifungal cream, Nizoral 12% to fix it. They have over the counter Nizoral now, but it is not as strong.
I would go to your doctor and find out what it is before getting treated. I don't think that it is anything really serious that you should be afraid to see your doctor about. Just go in and get it treated.

yeah, i'm getting this too. i imagine it truly is by means of water warmth and stress. i have pronounced that i in effortless words get them at the same time as the water's uncomfortably warm, so perchance merely attempt a cooler temperature. they ought to ease up. :)
