I have a red area on my lower right leg - on the shin, that has been there for several months. It doesn't really bother me much unless I accidentally scratch at it occasionally, and then it really smarts! It seems to be kind of flaky/scaly at times, and sometimes basically smooth -- it almost looks like a scar. Kind of shiny and smooth. It hasn't changed much in the several months (perhaps 1 year?) that it's been there, though I think it has increased in size a bit. It is relatively the size of a quarter, slightly larger.
