Have a look at this and see if it matches your symptoms: vasculitisfoundation.org/ed...

It could be this or you might have just had a reaction to something, but looks like hives from the photo so could either be hives, urticarial vasculitis or something else.

Would get it checked out though, I’m not medical!

Cheers Grizzly, that makes very interesting reading. Thank you 👍🏼

Rash, hives, red or purple blotches under the skin can all be side effects of prednisone.

That’s interesting, thank you. Bloody auto immune diseases are a nightmare 🙈🙈

Dear Johnnyboy66,

looking at BOTH your Photos, I'm Not Too Sure, one thought though..... how recent is that Tatoo?

Whether there is a 'Connection', or not, DO see your Doctors/ Consultants As Soon as Possible- Covid nothwithstanding....... Have Called Them Yet?

Do 'Act' quicly Johnny.
