Bad Rash

(not my arm but someone's arm and I bet it's itchy-- my arm is more spotty like measles, but the over -the-counter hydrocortisone ointment is helping a bit)

Been scratchin’ my arms. The rash is moving. Hives or some such thing. Bad on the elbow. Stretching out uppa my arm-- the right one. Stress can do some nasty things to my mongrel skin. My skin is bad acne-wise at the best of times, but this new strain, the stress related twist, it really bothers me. It’'s not bothersome in an unsightly way as much as it is a nuisance. It'’s a nuisance in two ways, the first being a severe itch and the second one, the more insidious way is that it acts as a visual reminder of how stressed out I actually am, which in turn stresses me out even more.
