Brief Answer:
? Contact dermatitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand from your history that you had a rash on your legs after a pedicure.
The possibilities I would consider in this case include Contact dermatitis and Contact urticaria. Both could occur as an allergic reaction to one of the creams or any other substance used for the pedicure.
Please upload a clinical photograph so that I can assess better. ( You have the option of uploading a clinical photograph).
I could brief you the treatment once I see that photograph.
