Tiny Specks on My Feet = Bug bites w/rash + blisters Posted: 10-18-07 15:22pm
I went hiking about 1 1/2 months ago in SE
Oklahoma. This was during the height of
bug season, and when I got home, I noticed
that I had tiny specks all over the tops
of my feet that looked like paprika. They
were actually tiny tiny bugs, and I picked
them all off. The next day, I had VIOLENT
itching all over the tops of my feet, and
developed a rash all over my feet (not the
bottoms, just the tops and sides) that was
individual blister-welts about 1mm to 2mm
in size. There were literally about 100 on
each foot. After about a week and a half,
the blisters went away, but the itch was
still there. The itch is STILL horrible
after 1 1/2 MONTHS of this agony, and
allthough the appearance is somewhat
better, there is still an itchy red rash
all over my feet.
What in the world is this? I thought it
was chiggers, but chiggers don't last this
long. I went on this camping trip with my
boyfriend, and while he had the same
problem initially, his went away in about
3 weeks, and now, he is fine - not even a
bit of scarring. His feet look like
nothing ever happened, and mine look like
I lost the war.
