Strange rash

[LyndaGould]

I’ve been in remission from CNSV for about 7 years now but have recently had a few symptoms that I’m not sure about. One of the most recent is a strange rash which is mostly on my legs. It comes and goes over about 5-7 days. Some are itchy and I’ve been prescribed an anti histamine and cream. Has anyone had a rash like this? It may be stress related but I am worried that my immune system is awakening from its slumber?

It is always worrying when we get symptoms that can be related with our Vasculitis. Usually in a flare you will have the same symptoms you had when you got diagnosed, but of course there are exceptions.

As a rule, all symptoms, new and reoccurring, have to be reported to your doctor.

Thanks zoe69 my GP had a look at the cluster that broke out on my left leg 2 weeks ago and then prescribed the antihistamine. I’ll go back again and get this looked at.

I was diagnosed in 2015 with Cutaneous Vasculitis on my lower legs and that is how it looks when it starts

Thanks lou1972, the rash has been coming and going for the last 6 weeks or so and seems to switch from one leg to the other. It also appeared on my collarbone as well and down the inside of my left arm. Always in a line with small clusters.
