Rash is Busting Out All Over

Well, it seems I have gotten myself into it. I am not exactly sure what it is. I have a rash on both of my feet, toes, ankles and up my legs. I am not sure what it is. It doesn't itch and it is not a bite. My best friend who is a nurse looked at it and at fisrt thought it was petechia but on a closer look, no it isn't. I sent a picture to my son the nurse and he said bed bugs!! I said noooooo, it is not a bite. And seriously, what the bed bugs don't bite Al just me?
It is really pretty bad looking except a band of clear skin across the top of my foot, obviously where my sandals are. It must be a contact allergy of some sort but it isn't poison ivy. I have no idea where I could have gotten it but it is ugly and I can't get a pedicure with it on my feet, bummer!!!
Any ideas/

In my opinion that could be eczema, it has no known cause but could be a combination of genetics, allergy, pollution etc.. Just search but it is still best to have it looked by a qualified medical practitioner.

@LadyDuck you are most probably right but there are also rare instances where it does not itch, we agree on one thing though that she go see a doctor

I have seen eczema and this is definitely not that but it probably is an allergy or sun poisoning.

No idea beyond a heat rash or something.
Have you got new shoes or used a new washing powder/liquid?

No new shoes and I use the same detergent all the time. It may be heat related I guess.

just looks like those things you get when it's hot and maybe get a few bug bites...in all seriousness go to the doc if it lasts a while.

It didn't sound like a typical rash to me @BelleStarr perhaps a quick trip to a clinic to have it checked could be a good idea.

So far it is holding strong I need to go get some Benadryl cream to treat it.

Yes it is quite the mystery but my son said to just let it go since it doesn't itch or hurt .

Let us know what it is. I would see my doctor but then , we Canadian's have socialized med so it doesn't cost a penny to see our doctors.... It looks uncomfortable...itchy?

You know, supposedly my daughter was getting bit by bed bugs and her boyfriend wasn't....who knows!
I worked pulling grass in a flower bed last night and that got me all red and itchy. I've noticed that before and now wonder if I'm allergic to the plants.

I have the marks of my sandals on my feet with no rash so I am quite sure it is some sort of contact rash but what is the question.

It almost looks like bug bites of some sort. Hope they just go away!

In person it doesn't really look like a bite and it doesn't hurt or bleed

I have no idea what it could be but hope it clears up so you can get your pedicure

I'm trying to figure out where that is and what that is on you Isabelle! If it doesn't itch it seems weird. I had a sudden- not too itchy rash one time from nerves due to a stressful situation? But more than likely you've walked through some areas with something that you're allergic too!

I started using a cortisone cream on it and it seems to be fading so maybe that is the key here but it is very weird. I didn't walk anywhere I haven't walked before, I suppose a plant that was never there before could have grown but I have no idea lol

@BelleStarr you can get sudden rashes with stress too- as what happened to me what time- very scary. It was all over my body.

I had a rash all over my legs that wouldn't go away. I went to my dermatologist and he told me it was due to dry skin. He told me the name of a lotion to purchase for dry skin and it worked. the rash is all gone. The name of the lotion is "Curel" It reads on the label "Rough Dry Skin Rescue"

It looks like an allergic reaction to something outside, especially as it's only affected your feet and lower legs, though that looks like an arm.
