Hi Gerri,
Unfortunately, the initial patch of redness was on my back and my daughter said it looked a bit like a rash (I couldn't really see it well but felt something was there). I didn't think about it too much until a larger outbreak (a full week later) of smaller patches appeared on my chest. When I noticed that these were getting worse rather than better (I actually assumed they were hives from eating shrimp- which I am not supposed to do!!) I got worked in to see my doctor but my timing was too late for any real help. So....................everyone should learn from my mistake!!
