Board Dermatologists--odd rash

I noticed a red rash on my lower legs on Saturday (starting around the knees, and ending around the ankles, but concentrated on the calfs). It doesn't itch, nor are the spots raised. It seems to be getting a little better today. A Google search didn't give me any clues.

What do you think?

Is it meningitis? Scoliosis? Lupus? Is it LUPUS?

Make a poultice.

Mix together dijon mustard, brown sugar, pineapple slices, maraschino cherries, cloves.

Wait, that's for glazing a ham.

I got nuthin'.
Put some ‘Tussin on it.

And if you run out of ‘Tussin then I’m not sure what you should do.

I rubbed some dirt on it. Didn't really work. *

don't fuck around, get to the doctor. My friend missed a semester at ND because of HSP.

Then again, the ND docs at the infirmary misdiagnosed him, which may have exacerbated the issue.
Perhaps put a balm on it? *

Pick the best response from internet strangers and go with that.

Terrible advice...
by ndgenius  (2019-04-22 10:28:09)     cannot delete  |  Edit  |  Return to Board  |  Ignore Poster   |   Highlight Poster  |   Reply to Post

Before taking the advice from internet strangers you need to post something cryptic on Facebook to get 97 insincere comments and some odd "likes" which beg the question, if someone "likes" your medical misfortune, are they really your friend?

Not a dermatologist

but I suggest you consider amputation. It’s the only way to be sure.
