Medical Question

I have two or three places on my body that get these small skin irritations. What's weird is it always shows up in the exact same spots.
I have one spot on the inside of my right knee, and another on the back of my left calf. And then I get a larger area above my left hip (kidney/belt area). They show up as spots initially and they itch like the dickens. If I itch them they get bigger...and MAN do they itch!
Size is about the size of a dime-quarter.
If I put lotion on them they calm down and go away after a while.
I asked my doc about them once and he just blew it off and gave me some stuff with cortizone in it. Worked great...while it lasted. But they come back periodically.
...always in the exact same spot. They clear up with lotion, but when they come back it's always the EXACT same spot.
Just dry skin, or something else?
edit: Oh, and I should add; when one spot starts itching they all start. When one clears up they all clear up. And it itches like poison ivy/oak, and looks very similar.

Has a Strange Deal he has to have Like a Pint Of blood Removed Every Month Or? As it Builds To Many Red Bloodcells
Why???? What Is the Reason he don't Know..
As of now he is out of a coma he has little strength in his grip and can't speak clearly.
Here is the questions: can/will he recover from this? Will there be any lasting effects? Where can I look to find this info out if it is too lengthy.
I have a few ideas as to what happened and why but I am keeping them to myself from the family right now. Just want to find out what they are in for from here on out.
Thanks in advance for any info.
Nunn recently posted a prayer request for a co-worker's 15 year old daughter who is gravely ill. Pending further test results, these are the two illnesses the doctors have narrowed it down to. She remains in ICU until her condition improves enough to repair the damage done to her heart. The question of any damage to her brain remains unanwered.
Sounds like it might be Hemochromatosis, but I don't really know.
I have a friend that must go monthly for an oil change. His reason is high iron levels in his blood.
Sorry,.....didn't see your post.[:)]
