Detailed Answer:
HI,
Dear,Thanks for the query to HCM.I studied your query in depth and details.
In my opinion the over-exertion and stressful travelling has lead to the Leg rash in the legs of your daughter.
Besides stress , the warm europian weather has added for it to cause.
Advise-
a-Cold compresses
b-Rest and Elevation
c-8 hrs rest
d-Moisturizing / emollient creams would help the blotchy rash to recover.
e-Tb NSAID to reduce the stress in the leg compartments would help recovery fast.
f-Tb -Antihistaminics from the ER Doctor would help,to control any contact allergy due to long travelling.
-Still as you are worried I would well-come further queries to satisfy your anxiety about the rash on legs of your daughter.
-Plz feel free for any further queries in this matter.
-Wishing early recovery and healthy living to your daughter.
Wellcome to HCM again.Have a Good Day.
