What Were The Blood Red Rashes On My Lower Leg?
I had a deep blood red lower leg rash that lasted 48 to 72 hours and was controlled with benedril . It has subsided however it did leave some trace scaring. I was in the DC area and had been walking outside extensively and riding the subway. Any thoughts?

Hi,
The rash could be a papular urticaria or an acute urticaria. If it had subsided with benadril, you need not worry. You could apply calamine lotion and take an antihistamine tablet in case of severe itching if needed. If your rash is severe or it is associated with severe symptoms, you should consult your Dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
