Sounds like scab. Here's a link that will tell you more than you ever wanted
to know about growing potatoes and diseases in general and scab (pictures on
the site) in particular. Good luck.

This isn't a forum it is a usenet newsgroup. You need to find a
newsgroup that allows posting binaries.
alt.binaries.pictures.gardens was created for this purpose
