I have a rash on my arms and legs only.  Thought it be new soap but not.  Mng at center said they got new type of bleach so she had to go get Clorox.  Thought this might be it.  When I go on HD half way thru I start to itch.  Then I get more bumps on me. They are small with a clear head.  When I scratch them more produce. Have no idea what these are.  Need answers cause no doctors have any.  I know my acupuncture guy would say it's my kidneys, but trying to stay away from docs right now till I have current bills paid off.  Thanks for all ANSWERS!

UPDATE: Saw allergy doc and said he has been seeing dialysis patients with this lately.  Sweat glands get clogged and produce tiny blisters that itch.  Prescribed medicine and a medical body oil to use 2 times a week. Very dry skin. I did go to acupuncture doc as well.  This should take care of it.

Dailysis patient for since 1999 and still kicking it strong.  I was called for a transplant but could not get it due to damage veins from extremely high blood pressure.  Have it under control now, on NxStage System but will receive dailysis for the rest of my life.  Does life sucks because of this.  ABOLUTELY NOT!  Life is what you make it good, bad, sick, or healthy.  Praise God I'm still functioning as a normal person just have to take extra steps.

Can you take an old sheet to cover the chair before you sit down? You can get sheets cheap at Goodwill or similar stores. Then you would eliminate a variable. The problem to figuring this sort of thing out is too many variables. You have to change only one thing at a time to be sure what the problem is. Although I wouldn't think the ingredients vary that much in bleach. Try to think through anything you changed recently. Soap, clothes, food, etc. Hopefully you can find it soon.
