What Causes Red Honeycomb Shaped Rashes On The Thigh?
My daughter noticed a long red honeycomb mottled rash on her thigh today that was warm to the touch even though her calve & her other leg were cool. It is less noticeable now but she says it was bright red and the splotches were honeycomb shaped. Is this something of concern ?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion, it could be Erythema ab igne. Are you keeping laptop or any hot objects on thigh. If so please avoid keeping hot objects on thigh. Apply Calamine lotion on lesion. If you do not get any relief, do consult your Dermatologist.
