Q: Leg Rash

I seem to get this rash when I spend a lot of time standing or walking. By the time I get a doctor's appt, it is gone. It doesn't itch, it isn't raised. Basically below my knees on the shins and toward the inside of each leg. The last time it occurred it was closer to my ankles.

hmmmm.... Not sure but, it looks kind of like a fungal infection. Fungus loves moist warm areas and if you are walking and sweating the conditions are perfect.

I would try some OTC Lamisil or fungal medication. If it doesn't clear up I would go see an MD to have it checked out.

im not sure what it is but i think you shuld see a doctor or call one and see what they think
tell them it comes and goes but maybe they can tell you why this happens?

Could be a bunch of things, Fungal, could be allergys/sensitivities or even eczema.

I have the same problem. My knee has developed this rash that looks just like the one above. I am trying to submit my pictures to see if this is the same. I am going to try the lamisil and see what this does.
