Any of you degenerates had the chicken pox? I never have, but two days ago I started getting a slight rash on my arms. They're too red to be mosquito bites, and too small to be juniper rash (I was cutting back some juniper bushes in my yard around the same time).

I noticed last night it's starting to spread from the back of my forearms to my upper arms, and a couple on my chest. Itches like fuck. Do we have a fake doctor here, because I have to have one foot in the grave before I'll go see one of those snake oil salesman.

Very strange, Im suffering from the exact same thing right now in all the places you mentioned, all over my arms and a few around the shoulders and blades. I havent been around juniper bush though and I havent been around anything different, plant life, people, etc. Im scratching it like a muthafucker, which I know is very very bad but its unbearable at times. I cracked down and spent $28.00 plus tax on Calamine Lotion, Cortizone 10 Ointment and Gold Bond Medicted Anti Itch Cream....I hope it works, so far after putting the Calamine lotion on (actually the one I got was called Caladryl (8.00 just for that shit)it's calamine lotion with an anti itch reliever, I dont want to scar so Im hoping the itch will be relieved, so far so good.
I've never had chicken pox, but with chicken pox it would be all over the body and I only have it on my arms and a little on my shoulder blades and shoulder area, all the places you mentioned. I looked up Chicken Pox and I have no symptoms of it and I also dont like going to the doctors unless Im actually dying. So I hope this stuff works. So $28.00 later plus $3.50 for the cotton balls to apply the Calamine lotion, all this money better at least stop the itching so that I dont scar. Good luck with yours.

Edited for some typos after re-reading, I have a pet peeve with typos.
