   This is driving me crazy!  Went to rotorua over the weekend and developed a rash.  just popped up on my shoulder and travelled down both arms and is on my back and neck now as well.  Not welts, just look like little mosquito bites.  kinda itchy but controllable.  I haven't used anything new, same laundry powder, didn't even eat anything new.  othre thing is - i have cold symptoms - the kids have had a cold so that could be from them and totally non-related.  they dopn't have spots.  any ideas?
 P.S  will probably go to the pharmacy tomorrow anyway - don't want to diss your diagnosis skills but probably should get things checked out properly - well, semi-properly
