Common Questions and Answers about Heat rash on legs

Avatar n tn I just started getting a rash on the inside of my ankles? First time was on a very hot day, on my feet for a long visit to Disneyland, I was wearing a new pair of socks, some synthetic material that I didn't wash before wearing! Now I have it again!? This time it wasn't as hot, but the same area (inside of ankles) and synthetic socks that I had worn many times prior without a reaction? This rash doesn't itch or really hurt but it takes a least a week to fade!
Avatar f tn There are so many things it could be, starting with heat rash because yes you can get it on your legs, so posting a picture or describing it would help. Also, this article might help. http://walking.about.com/od/medhot/a/legrash.
Avatar n tn It first started with a small area on my right arm but the rash became bigger, then on both my arms and now on the front of my leg. The bumps look like pimples and got inflamed/raised like a small mosquito bite when scratched. It fits all the descriptions of a heat rash but it has been a week now and they are not on the neck, in the groin, under the breasts, or in elbow creases. Just on my arms and legs!

Avatar f tn Hi! I've had a recurrent rash for over 4 years now. Actually, I think it is there year-long but flares in the early spring (Feb/March) and is more visible and itchy throughout the summer, returning to a low level in the fall and winter. The sequence is as follows: in Feb/Mar I get red circular patches at the corner of my mouth running down diagonally between mu chin and cheek (mostly on one side). I may get other small flares, but this is the main patch.
2218251 tn?1339481747 Since you get these blotches only while travelling to hot climate, it can be a fungal infection, heat urticaria (rashes develop due to heat), contact dermatitis due to something your legs come in contact with (say while trekking). Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined when you return with the rash. Take care!
Avatar f tn it appears on my neck, chest, arms legs and face, or one of these areas and eventually spreads all over, especially in sunlight, seemingly in places where the majority of sun exposure has been previously, although i rarely go out into the sun. it is not itchy, raised or anything, just red patches which eventually merge together and can cover the majority of the mentioned areas.
Avatar n tn this looks like heat rash to me. I'm not aware of a treatment for it but you can talk to your dermatologist OR post on the "ask an expert" forum.
Avatar n tn Hello, It can be due to folliculitis skin or heat rash or dermatitis skin. Apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics like Neosporin is also useful. In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed. Please consult a dermatologist in that case.
Avatar f tn it probably is a heat rash or your allegic to the material...don't wear jeans when exericising it causes heat rashes..put some nelsporn on it...
Avatar n tn Most often, heat rash goes away on its own. Severe forms of heat rash may need medical care, but the best way to relieve symptoms is to cool your skin and prevent sweating. Keep the affected area dry. Dusting powder may be used to increase comfort.
Avatar m tn This time on my biceps, a little on forearms, a few on the neck and 2 or 3 on my chest area. NONE on the legs or lower torso like last time. I have shaved my arms in that area previously, but not my chest or neck area. ANY idea what this might be? Could it be viral?
Avatar f tn s more of an annoyance than anything, but the skin on my legs is sensitive to heat. This causes redness on my legs when exposed to heat, and it creates a rash like redness but it is not inflamed or bumpy. It goes away gradually after about 10 minutes when the heat isnt coming from my knees. The redness appears in the same pattern every time and can even appear from constant sunlight on the area. I'm just wondering what may be causing the redness and my heated joints.
Avatar f tn But the vesicles involved and the rash involved are due to trapping of keratin or dead skin and even bacteria in the sweat glands. In your case, you have noted the rash only on the legs. Sweat rash or heat rash is still a differential .However do you also note other similar rash in other parts of the body? If this is heat rash, avoiding hot and humid places is necessary .Avoid excessive sweating or engaging in strenuous exercises which may lead to excessive sweat.

Avatar f tn I get a rash often between my thighs that I believe is heat rash. The pain from the rash comes and goes but my skin has gotten thicker and darkened in that area now. I also have developed small, painless bumps in the area. There are at least 50 on each leg; they are flesh colored to light brown and raised. They are pimple like but when squeezed, nothing comes out (they do bleed a little when squeezed.) I have had these bumps for several months.

Avatar f tn I do have something called livedo ritucularis which is a type of rash on my legs. I also have a butterfly rash on my cheeks and bridge of nose.
Avatar f tn Im on my 33 weeks and Im experiencing severe itching on my legs and thighs with rashes. Is this normal?
Avatar f tn I develop a rash on my neck at beginning of summer or when i visit hot places like Arizona occasionally. I live in CA, now I'm getting one. It only happenes to my neck. It starts like red blotchies here and there, (not bumpy) itchies. It consists like a month or abit more. Towards healing end, red marks turns into brownish color and that area skin looks like wrinkles like after sunburned. It doesn't happen often.
Avatar n tn If you only get this irritation when you sleep with your clothes on, then it clearly is an allergic reaction to the fabric not allowing your body to breathe. Take your day clothes off before going to bed and use nightwear or sleep naked.
Avatar f tn It sounds like you may have a heat rash of some type or even a rash from the sand at the beach. Try to stay away from the heat, keep your legs washed with cooler water, and if the rash continues- I'd encourage you to get to your doctor to have them take a look.
