Ok, so i woke up with this shit 2 days ago and don't how or where i got it/came in contact with something.
To my knowledge i have no allergies, i havent changed my diet, havent changed detergent, havent done ANYTHING that i can think of out of the norm. Before anyone says "that's a spider bite" the two puss nodules are from me poking it with a needle to see just that, if it was full of gunk like a spider bite. Right Forearm: The center one with the two nodules side by side is quarter sized.  Right wrist: underside  Stomach under ribs on right side:  Left bicep:  Now these areas are the one's i snapped because they show a good variety of it at different stages swelling/spreading. It's also on the bottom side of both knees, beginning to start in arm pits, at the base of right ear, tip of nose, and around naval. IT ITCHES LIKE MAD!!! So far i've been treating with desitin, and taking benadryl caplets I gotta know what this is and how to get rid of it!

Quoted: Looks like an plant protein reaction. Been in the woods lately? Clean your boots? Use an old coat? Pulled some some poison ivy about a week and a half ago. I've never had a reaction to the stuff though and i would think it would've showed up faster than it did if it was poison ivy. Also be more concentrated. I will say, it seems i've spread this myself from scratching the primary area then scratching other regions. Is this a possible way to spread the rash or would the original "contaminant" be the only way?

I had the non skin eating variety of MRSA, and it looked nothing like that. I got one big lump under my armpit, that looked like a nasty ass spider bite. If it is MRSA, you better get started on the anti-biotics, right now!!

Check your mattress and box springs thoroughly for blood feces and bed bug skins. The feces will look like reddish black to black stains. |

You'll need an icepick and some gasoline to start. I think that's for bedbugs... 
Honestly, pull the mattress back and look at the corners. Bed bugs always congregate in the corners of the mattress (this was told to me by a hotel housekeeping manager). If they're present, that's where you'll see them. |

This could literally be anything: Impetigo, Staph (not MRSA), hives, tinnea, Molluscum Contagiosum, Herpes, etc... I had my fair share of dermatologist/doctor trips for skin funk, being a wrestler and all. Even they usually don't get it right the first time. Go get a culture, and get on some cream. It took them about 6 trips to diagnose my Herpes Gladatorum (Mat Herpes, yea, yea, yuk it up). |

After google image searching everything. I'm going with my original guess and agreeing with everyone who said....
DRUM ROLL!!! BED bugs. Ok, so now how do i get rid? I've treated with Spectrade BUG STOP Indoor/Outdoor and washed everything. Any more things to add to the list? Also, why would they start biting all at once out of the blue. One night i had no bites, the next i wake up thinking... well that i have a rash.

I knew a woman who would break out like that on arms and legs just from being outside in her back yard, some 15 yards from a brushline that developed some poison ivy. She spent a lot of summers swathed in gauze and getting cortisone shots. |

Not MRSA... everybody stop freaking the f*ck out
Looks like some sort of a contact dermatitis (probably poison ivy), particularly that first picture, where the rash appears somewhat linear. That would certainly itch like mad. Could also be scabies... that also gives you a linear appearance like that. The distribution (armpits, around the belt-line, wrists) also sounds like scabies. The key here is the itch... MRSA hurts, it doesn't just itch... and when it comes to itching, there's nothing that itches like scabies.

Scabies
ETA: If it is scabies then not much of what you have done will help at all until you kill the little fuckers on your body. And if you lounge around on your couch or bed, then your family members will more then likely get them also. They Suck. Elimite is your friend. |

If you're going that route, treat everyone in the household.... and you may have to treat multiple times. Wash all the sheets, etc before you sleep on them again. Scabies can live for a few days in sheets, towels, and clothing. Honestly, it's probably poison ivy, just going by the history. |
