Accepted Answer

Unfortunately it is: almost impossible to diagnose a rash over the internet as we cannot see it on this forum. What you have described could be a number of different things. You will need to be seen by a health care provider so the rash can be seen and examined. Make an appointment today.

Question 2

i have a line that is down my leg after going to the beach. it's light brown, not raised or itchy.  also i have a rash on my upper thigh. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Rash: I would wonder about insect bites(sand flea, fly). If spreading redness or burning develops, consult your physician for evaluation and advice.

Question 3

hi. i have a rash on my upper thigh and both my legs behind my knees. it is itchy at times. mostly after i showered and during the night. i take my post pregnancy multivitamines, zinc and vit c with my xarelto 10mg. can it be a side effect?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor, preferably a dermatologist. 
Wish you good health!

Question 4

i have a rash on my upper thighs that look like small hickeys or something. they don't itch or hurt or anything but they have been there for a couple ?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Need to see the rash to give an informed answer. You could consider submitting several clear photos of the rash in a virtual consult sent to a dermatologist

Question 5

i have a really bad rash on my upper thigh,  what can be causing my rash?

Accepted Answer

Difficult to tell: There are many rashes that can happen on that specific area. It would be good if you have your provider take a look at it in order to tell you what it is.

Question 6

i have a rash like sunburn on my upper thigh area and it's  peeling like one to but doesn't hurt?

Red thigh: An examination is very important to diagnose you and you should see a dermatologist in person.There can be many possibilities like:
an allergic reaction to some medication or food.
Dry skin, 
urticaria, 
hypothyroidism, 
kidney disease, 
and others.

Question 7

i have a rash on my upper outer thigh. the bumps are small and dark red when not itching yet somewhat larger and inflamed when itching.  sounds like?

Accepted Answer

?herpes zoster: A patch of eruption like this may be shingles (herpes zoster)'. Another possibility is an allergic reaction to something that comes in contact with your skin. A dermatologist is best qualified to evaluate and treat you for this persistent rash.

Question 8

i have a bumpy skin rash on my back upper thigh. it itches and is red. i noticed it oozing and thats about it. its one main rash about 1 and half quarters in size and then there are three small almost like pimple red bumps about an inch up. ?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can examine: Bumps and spots can be from many causes, such as: hives, viral infections, other infections (impetigo), medication causes, hot-tub rashes, heat rashes, reactions to creams or lotions, allergic reactions to various things (poison oak, allergenic foods), etc... That means a rash that persists, looks worrisome, or may be infected should be checked by a doctor... in-person or online.

Question 9

recovering from vulvovaginitis healed on my vulva but now i have a rash on both my upper inner thighs. another infection?

Accepted Answer

Cannot diagnose: Without being able to see both eruptions it is impossible to diagnose these. Assuming your vulvovaginitis was due to Candida would then have to know how and with what you treated it.  Answers on HealthTap aren't intended for individual treatment, prescription or diagnosis.

Question 10

i've had a rash on my upper thigh for about a month they seemed to look like bites and now i've got black bruises where the rashes were..?

Accepted Answer

Get checked: Bruises on legs without trauma merit evaluation. Considering your age it's likely nothing serious but it may be. Get to a derm.
