The same thing began happening to me a few years ago also. My doctor told me that sometimes, as we get older (mid-forties?) our skin becomes thinner and more sensitive. No longer see him - too condescending! I've even noyiced that when I hang my purse on my arm, or if something rests on my skin for a while, I then develop red, raised skin that takes quite a while to go away. I do suffer from various allergies, but this happens when a variety of different items comes into contact with my skin. If you find out anything about this, please contact me - I share your concern. ldelc@petronet.net
