A member asked:

Very itchy earlobes, rash shows when i scratch. spread to left cheek. no poison ivy or bug bites. no new foods or meds. can this be part of fibro?

NO: If you're referring to fibromyalgia the answer is no. Fibromyalgia is characterized by muscle aches and pains esp over certain "trigger points". As far as i know there are no skin manifestations. You may be having a skin reaction/rash from something though.
