Anyone seen a rash like this before?

I get it the worst on my legs in that exact place. I do get it all over the rest of my body - but in rather smaller patches (more like 50c peices or smaller)

One thing that i forgot to mention - it might look quite dry - but do not under any circumstances exfoliate it! ( I made that mistake & it made it much worse!) Once the itching calms down - try and put some paw paw cream on it - i found this helped heaps - sometimes more than the quaterzone.

But you really should get it checked - the quaterzone you are using may not be the right one and could actually be burning the skin and making it worse - even if it is stoping the spread of it.

Pine Tarsel baths are also good for soothing it.

I soooooo feel for you though, its a horrible feeling!

thanks for the extra ideas. I haven't even been game to shave my legs since giving birth!! (eeewww I know but I'm too scared!).

The cream seems to be fading the rash - it is less angry looking. I'll keep going with it for a few more days. My doc is happy to refer me to a skin specialist/dermatologist but it's nearly a 2 hour drive away so I've been trying to avoid that if possible.

I'll try to get some paw paw ointment too. Cheers
