Quick question...

I was just sitting here with some heat on my thigh and THIS popped up. I usually get red from heat on my legs, but haven't really seen this before.

Very strange shape to it... roundish but not filled in at all.

Anyone else get this from heat?
What does it look like to you?

Ideas?

Thanks!

I had something like that on my wrist for months...not from heat but it would get a little worse after a hot shower.

It itched SOOOOOO much and then some days, I'd feel nothing.

It went away with Bart treatment.

So sorry! That's a bummer.

Best,

Cute leg disturbed...



Looks like blood vessels. A lacy rash.

Have you ever seen a picture of livedo? Might want to check it out?

J - I'm not on any meds right now except Synthroid and Armour and Toprol-XL.

I am taking herbs though.

Hi Disturbed,

I had a very similar rash ( so did my husband) from head to toe.. It seemed to look like ring worm so I was biopsied in Stony Brooke. They could not find the cause

It went away with IV Rocephin... I believe it was the Bartonella as well. However my LLMD said it was the lyme.

Maybe its your bart, D.

BTW, the toprol... are you always on that? I bet your BP would go up if you stopped it, but don't do so without doctor's permission. Needs to be stopped gradually if you've been on it awhile.

you know, i used a hot heating pad for my back and got the same thing. it was a huge area, dark red with spots or something.

hubbie just thought i kept it on too long and burned myself. but it didn't feel like a burn.

i'd say something to do with lyme, but what i don't know.
