Not poison ivy, oak or sumac--different kind of bumps. But thanks for
the thought. I was leaning towards something contact/organic as it
broke out within a day of taking a walk that included a stroll through
waist-high or taller wildflowers. I had on sweatpants. But whatever.
Doesn't explain concentration on the back/underside of both arms
between elbow and shoulder. Pretty random on legs/hips. A few spots
around waistband area.
I was leaning dermatologist, but I'd really like to know what caused
this so I can avoid it happening again. It's bloody annoying. And I
don't really have allergies, so it's an unwelcome surprise too.
