Oddly enough, it's everything but jock itch. It began after we stayed at the Holiday Inn at Padre Island for a friend's wedding two years ago next month.

First, check your bed. Lift up the sheets and check the very corners of the mattress. I'd also make sure to get a blood test specifically for thyroid as well as Lyme disease.

In the interim, try washing with unscented detergents and unscented fabric softeners.

Best wishes, a rash can be very frustrating.

Thank you. We switched to "free" detergents for clothes a long time ago. I've checked the beds and we've bought a new one [we have a vacation home I checked, too.]

I check the beds at hotels now. All the time.
