[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 696467, member: 1963"] Honestly? Sounds like poison ivy, poison oak, or poison suman, assuming any of those grow in Hawaii. Herpes does itch, especially when its healing, but is more characterized by a burning, stinging nerve pain along the tract of the affected nerve. The path of the areas affected don't sound like shingles (herpes zoster), either. What you have sounds like a dandy contact dermatitis, which could be caused by contact with a toxic plant or something you are allergic to. The pred pack is a start. Some pred cream might not hurt, so long as herpes is ruled out. Oatmeal baths are good. Use ONLY unscented products labelled hypoallergenic. If this spreads, or doesn't start to clear, see a dermatologists, GPs are not experts in diagnosing skin disorders. Sorry you are so itchy. That's just miserable [/QUOTE]
