    The chances of 2 friends developing the same rare condition at the same time are very small. With the similarity of the lesions on just one part of the body the chances are even smaller. With the normal blood count the chances are nil. 

    I still think this is some sort of physical damage.

    Or that thing we used to do where you twist the skin round? Chinese burns was it?

    I was thinking something like a ruler or wii controller being repeatedly tapped against an arm.

  • Come on!  They don't look like love bites ( they are diagonal lines) and I don't think the 2 of them had been in close contact before the marks were noticed. 

  • I'd thought of Chinese burns but you'd have a job doing that at the top of the upper arm.

    Is the girl in the striped top right handed, and the girl in the pink top left handed?

     

  • Striped top right handed.  Dunno about the other.  Will find out.  Why?

    If you hold something like a ruler or tv controller in your hand, and tap it on the opposite arm, you would get that sort of pattern.

  • Hi all!  New here so hope you don't mind my butting in.  I don't know what your child has but I know it's not contact dermatitis.  Contact dermatitis is on top in the skin and it looks and feels very rough and itchy.  It may even blister up in some cases depending on how bad it is.

  • She has it on both arms, however.
