Anywhere up to 24 hours before it rains, I break out in an area about the size of a 50 cent piece. It looks like poison oak and itches like crazy. I've had this condition for about 20 years.
The odd part is the location on my body changes almost every year. Right now it is located on the inside of my left knee, but it's been on my elbows, forearms, calf, toe, and even my nipple. When it was on my nipple, it was during a period of time when I was nursing, so there was excess moisture which may have contributed.
The doctor perscribed a topical medication which always stops the itching, but that's not really my question.
My real [?] is why does this happen? My friends used to think me nuts, but now have become believers []
Any ideas?
