Something is Wrong
Remember ages ago how I commented on how Japan messes up your skin (or feet). Well I have a rash on my arm that is driving me up a wall. I found it 3 days ago after profusely itching my arm. It looked as though it has a bunch of little mosquito bites everywhere. That is what I thought they were at first. But 3 days later it has turned into a red bumpy mass on my arm. I asked my neighbor what she thought it was. She said 'asemo' which means heatrash. But it is constantly there. I think I rubbed up against some mysterious plants while snorkling in the ocean. If it is still here next week I will consult with my school nurse. Those in Japan, take care of your health!!

I rubbed up against some plants while snorkeling once and got an itchy rash. The thing that made it look different was that the bumps were larger and flatter (but still raised) than a regular heat rash. It went away on its own.
If that's what it sounds like, maybe you're right about snorkeling. I remember that I felt the slightest bit of tingling when I was first exposed to the plants. The itching didn't start until a couple of days later.
