Attachment 4052Juls or should we say aka: Doctor ? Could this cause a start?:p
Possibly? I couldn't honestly tell you. Mine started as like little pimples, like when you get too much sun. It itched, so I scratched it, and then it bled a little. I thought nothing of it, and put Neosporin on it like I do all scratches and cuts. Normally, they pretty much disappear overnight that way. Not this time though...even after a week of putting salve on it a few times a day, it didn't go away, so I knew something was up.
That's when I decided to look up "sores that won't heal" on the internet, and "Fish Handling Disease" popped up in the search. I thought to myself, "Well, I handle a lot of fish, so this could be it".
When I went to the dermatologist, I told the doctor what I thought, because you know....doctors love it when you self diagnose...lol
They cut a patch off my finger and sent it in to pathology, and when I got the call she said, "It's what you said it was. We're going to send an antibiotic prescription to your pharmacy...."
It's no big deal now that its being treated....body is used to the medicine now, and there are no side effects...thank goodness.
I would have that checked, it could be Lyme Disease caused by a Deer Tick bite. I am not saying it is but the pattern showing on your arm is very similar to it. The tick does not have to attach to spread the disease just bite you.Quote:

We'll see the Ol'Sawbones Tuesday, and see what he says for sure. No bump or itching just the two little holes and redness. See what he says.

That looks like a spider bite to me.
You are not only Capt Juls, but now Dr. Juls. Glad you got to the bottom of this problem
