this is really starting to freak me out. last saturday (last week`s saturday) i noticed a little rash thing on the back of my neck. i didnt think much of it untill by tuesday when it was only getting worse. i went to the doc and she didnt know what it was but gave me this medicine stuff to rub on it called altabax and said if it doesnt get better in a week to go back. well its been a week and the spot on my neck has gotten slightly better but now i have two big blisters of it. one on my wrist and one on the back of my thigh. they`re both kinda popped and raw, leaking this nasty snot/piss yellow crap everywhere. they hurt a little and itch like no other.
both my grandmother and aunt are nurses and dont know what it could be. someone suggested impetigo some say its MRSA.
have any of you guys had anything like this? i plan on going to the doc again tomorrow, its just reaeeaaaalllly worrying me. most of all i just wanna know what it is, no one can seem to tell me that just yet though.
weird. , perhaps try calamine? nother question. you get bit by anyting? or perhaps come into contact wiht anything, like poison ivy/oak/sumac?

I agree with it could be poison something, esp if you were somewhere like in the woods a week before the rash became a problem. I am lucky enough to be immune to poison ivy and oak but should i be unlucky enough no to see the sumac hidden in the shrubs i get a big nasty never goes away rash and have to go and get a steroid shot to get better.
its possible that it could be some ind of poison. i was taking my nephew for a walk in the woods the other day, i could get something on my neck then just scratched my arm and leg and got it there. idk, im going back to the doctor first thing tomorrow morning. hopefully they can tell me what it is.
From what you just said that is what i would say you have. When I get sumac the effected area turns rashy, swells up and spreads. Then in a couple days, esp after a shower or an itch fest the kitty cat fluid just flows, like a faucet. If you see the doc tell them you have used the ointment and you still have it and they will probably give you a shot or a pill to take for a little bit.
