I have had a rash on my left shin for over a year now. Painful to touch but very itchy. I have been keeping it calmed by using goldenseal only after going to the dr.s 5 to 6 times and receiving cortisone creams that did nothing. There is a new patch raising now....just driving me crazy as I cannot get it to calm or to say the most...go away. Seems to start under the skin with slight itching then swelling then erupting.
Painful skin rash on the shin can be erythema nodosum.. You need a few investigations to identify the cause like CXR, S.ACE levels, ANA etc Consult a dermatologist for the same Treatment comprises a therapeutic ladder, after the diagnosis is confirmed.
