Suggest Treatment For Rash On Lower Legs
Question: Hi,
Yesterday afternoon, I broke out in a rash on the lower part of my legs. It is red, warm to the touch, and it burns tremendously, especially if they come in contact with anything. My joints throughout my body are also extremely painful.
What can I do, and what illness do you think I may have?
Thanks,
XXXX
