i have been having rashes for the past 1 and a half weeks. i first saw some red spots on my torso before my rasa sentosa trip. after that it got worse. my whole torso was starting to look like red polka dotted skin. most of the spots are not bumps and they don't itch. however a dozen or so of them are bigger and are raised bumps. those itch. i also have this huge-ass bump which i thought was a mosquito bite at the side of my thighs. after that i realised it isn't a mozzie bite because it lasted for more than a week and the surface of the bump is rough.

i finally saw the doctor on wednesday when the spotty rash spread from my torso to my limbs. she said i have 2 types of rashes. one is the big bump that seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. that one is parasitical rash. another rash, those red spots and tiny itchy bumps, is something else altogether, and she cannot diagnose it accurately. she said all i can do is wait. if it doesn't get better after a week, she'll have to refer me to a skin specialist. she prescribed me antihistamines just in case those rash is a case of allergy, together with cream for the parasite rash. i hardly took the antihistamines. i believe i'm not having a case of allergy. i have no allergies! i never had any allergic reaction, except to dust.

friday, it was still getting worse. i was getting impatient with the stupid rash, so i decided to put the anti-parasite cream ALL over my rash. i think they could be a manifestation of that big bump. and viola!! it worked. or rather, it seems to be working. yay. i should be a doctor la. im still having the rash, but many of the spots have disappeared =)
