When I was in Africa I got a random scab on my wrist. Since then I've been getting random scabs on my body-on my ankle, over my knee, on my arm, and now i have a cluster of them on my calf. Is there some kind of disease or rash that can cause this? Because I can't think of anything I could have done to get these scabs.

Scab disease of Proteaceae, which was initially observed on Leucospermum in South Africa in 1981, has subsequently been reported on this host from Australia and Hawaii. The disease, commonly known as corky bark or scab, is associated with severe losses of commercial plantings of Leucospermum in South Africa, and has also been collected from species of Leucadendron, Protea and Serruria in South Africa, from Banksia, Leucadendron, Mimetes, Protea and Serruria in Australia, and from Leucospermum and Protea in California and Zimbabwe. The causal agent was determined to be a species of Elsinoe, which has not been formally described. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the taxonomy of the species of Elsinoe associated with scab disease of Proteaceae in these countries. Morphology, symptomatology and DNA sequence analysis of the 5.8S rDNA gene and its flanking ITS1 and ITS2 regions were used. Anamorph and teleomorph characteristics of isolates from Leucospermum, Protea and Banksia suggest that there are at least four distinct species involved. These findings are strongly supported by the phylogenetic tree inferred from DNA sequence data. Furthermore, these results also show that the Elsinoe isolates from Leucadendron, Leucospermum and Serruria in South Africa and Australia, and the isolates from Leucospermum in California and Zimbabwe are representative of the same species.
could this be it or could this be it
Scab is the most important disease of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) in the northern part of Nigeria. Is provocated by a fungal Sphaceloma (Elsinoe phaseoli) An ascomycete whose products principale are Gibberellins, especially gibberellin
either way go see a doctor please
sorry but im not even sure if the top part of my answer is associated with humans or not it could even be potatos and im not being a smart *** im not sure if this disease that originates from vegetation can be contracted by humans anyway go see a doctor it sounds pretty bad

You may have a staph infection that only antibiotics can treat. Tell your doctor that this first appeared when you were in Africa. This will give him more information to work with for a diagnosis.

if it itches alot and it keeps on spreading.....it is called infintigo(cant spell it very well.) I had this a couple of times when I was little and it is very contagious. You can get rid of it if a doctor gives you a certain cream. What it does basically is it can start on any part of your body and It will itch really bad and spread. I hope I helped you out.
