Chicken Pox, measles, hives. You really should go to a doctor!

Could be anything from hives to scabies. I'd go see a doctor if I were you. Any symptom that persists over two weeks is definitely something that a doctor needs to see.

I would definitely see a physician about this. It may be an allergic reaction (contact dermatitis) or something more severe. Either way, the doc will be able to diagnose it and give you proper treatment.
Til then, take Benadryl, use cortisone cream, and take Aveeno oatmeal baths.

I would think its an allergic reaction and your getting hives form the allergic reaction. If it doesn't get better in a few days see a doctor.

It could be a staph infection. Have a doctor check it out to be sure. I've had staph twice in the past six months -- it is a difficult thing to get rid of and wears on your immune system.
Good luck!

Maybe it the scabies. Depends on where you live.
Do a yahoo search on rash pictures and try to compare to the photos, but I do recommend as well to see a doctor.

sounds like hives. you must have developed an allergy to something. anything changed in your environment in the last three weeks or so?
