Rash on Calves Only

by Jessia
(Florida)

About a month ago I developed a rash on both of my calves. It was moderate but seems to be getting worse. I'm not sure how to cure it. There are several "break out" areas on dry cracked skin with little red dots around the rest of the calf. It is only on my calves and itches like crazy. I have tried the oatmeal bath, anti-itch and Calamine lotion, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Any suggestions?? I don't have insurance so I'm trying to avoid the doctor if necessary. I haven't been in the woods or anything similar to get chiggers or anything like that and I haven't changed detergent or anything like that either.

 Me Too!

I have been searching like crazy to find out if I am allergic to sea water, or a reaction to jelly fish, sunscreen, sun, detergent, etc. I have gone to the beach twice this summer and both times developed the same rash on my calves. Last night the itching kept waking me up, which says a lot since I can sleep through crying babies, earthquakes and thunder, and even migraine headaches. I read somewhere to keep washing. You can wash with a vinegar solution or even a very light ammonia solution (That sounds extreme though). Good luck!

I have a very similar problem. They have me on Predisone when it inflammes bad, then I have to use Mometasone cream (Elocon is another)and they cannot figure out what it is. They tested me for Lupus but no dice there either, so I'm lost as well.

 Anti Depressants Side Effects
by: Anonymous

Hi,
My husband had the same thing, but turned out to be side effect from a kind of ani-depressant he was taking at the time. He quit taking those pills and the rash disappeared. Are you taking any meds right now?
