Doctor didn't get too specific. Said it was just a reaction. He prescribed steroid and spray Benedril which helps with the itch.

Three of us are comparing notes on our "rash" and it is still going strong after a being back a week. The other diving friend lives in Houston and I'm sure will be giving me an update.

My guess is that we will be itching for a couple weeks until it fades away. I'm certain it is pica pica based on the locations on our bodies.

What surprised me was the time it took for the reaction. Two experienced itchy bumps easily 3 days before the other two of us. I'm sure we all got into it at the same time on one of our first days of diving. We felt it but it never really became an itchy outbreak right after getting out of the water. I thought we got away without any big itching episode. I WAS WRONG!

Hey...we'll survive.
