What is it?!

Hello everyone

I'm currently enjoying a lovely bath salt bath 😊 Pampering myself why not

The water isn't boiling hot it's just right

I look down and I notice two rashes I think that's what you would call them I don't know at the top of my leg (inner thigh)

And they definitely wasn't there this morning does anyone know what they are?

Hi Claire91

I don't know much about rashes so can't help except to advise you to go to someone who does. If they don't fade I should get to your GP before everything closes down for the holiday. x

Maybe it's from the heat? Xx

Could be eczema or dermatitis, could be a fungal infection. Could be all sorts of things.

Best to go to the doctors and get it checked. xx

Hi Claire91 There are just so many things that it could be my friend & maybe good idea to keep photo & show GP on next visit & see if they can tell you what it could be. If it puts your mind at rest, I have constant skin problems, rashes, blisters, dry skin, you name it and I've had it & it looks like somethings I have on my inner thighs & around knees, I always think it looks like I've been sat in front of a fire but obviously I haven't lol.

It could be an allergic reaction to something, so ijust would just keep an eye on it in case it gets worse.

Peace, Luv n light

Hi hun- like Janet I agree it looks heat related, not all our vessels are in the same place on both legs and if you seek heat your vessels will heat too and surface (known in the North of England as Corned beef legs) keep an eye to see if it dies down in a few hours and see g.p if it hasn,t just incase its something else.

Hi Claire91

Sometimes I think we just get these rashes from time to time and there seems no rhyme or reason.

I wouldn't worry about it unless it spreads, becomes painful or you have a fever.

Hi Claire91

I am so genuinely sorry to read this and as the others say it does look heat related? I would take the photo to the doctors if it does not go away of its own accord? Please take care my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

This rash faded as soon as I got out the bath so maybe it was a heat rash 😊 Thank you everyone
