33M, 210lbs, no medical condition, no smoking, taking daily supplements, relatively healthy other than the weight

First observed the rash (tiny bumps pic 1) around 2 weeks ago, interestingly it was on both arms around the armpit as well as biceps area. Applied Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% which was prescribed to me for an unrelated skin irritation last year. Used it for 3-4 days, it helped a bit on that area but I noticed the rash was spreading to other areas, stopped using it.

Next few pics are more of the current state. It has spread to wider patches on both arms, chest area, as well as lower back/stomach area. If I touch, I can feel some kind of bumps and the skin is rough in these areas. It is very itchy at night, so much so that it disturbs my sleep, nearly impossible to not itch, but feels like stinging sensation after I itch.

I have no idea what this is and what might have caused it. As part of being healthy, I made some lifestyle changes. Started weight training 3-4 days a week, increased my protein intake, added chia seeds to my diet, started taking creatine around 2 weeks ago. I really hope none of this is correlated but listing here for what has changed.

My hygiene is generally good, shower after all the workouts etc. Only thing that comes to mind is using the same trimmer for grooming body hair as well as pubic area. Listing it here as it started almost symmetrical around both armpits and I hope I didn’t start some infection because of the same trimmer.

I wanted to see a dermatologist but no appointment for the next few months. Please let me know if I can add any other details here. Any advice on what I am going through and how to deal with this will be super helpful. Thank you so much in advance.

Started with couple of Citizens, followed by Seiko, and finally a Grand Seiko last month. Any suggestions on where to go next? Thinking of adding a white or a blue dial, something with a clean minimalist look

Planning to add another $20K next week, what would you buy from this list? Goal is to invest and forget about it for a few years.

Bought the ABX Leg Developer, planning to buy some Rogue bumper plates. Any suggestions on which weights or combinations to buy? I plan to get a functional trainer in future, would like to buy something which is good for leg workouts right now and also easy to build up on in future, thank you!

Came back from Japan yesterday. Finding a new Shunbun wasn’t easy in Tokyo/Kyoto/Osaka. Most stores told me sold out and Grand Seiko boutique staff simply said they can’t check the stock in their network. Finally, one employee from Daimaru Kyoto was super helpful and even with the language barrier, she went above and beyond to call a few other stores, checked the incoming stock, and helped reserve one new Shunbun for me at Matsuzakaya Ueno location in Tokyo. They held the watch for me for a few days and I was able to buy it on the second last day of my trip. When I looked at it in person, I realized the effort was worth it! Good luck to anyone trying to find this watch and hope you find that one employee who goes all in to help you get it!
