Skin rash?: I can't say what you're feeling, but for sure it isn't hair growing back that quickly. Why can't you wear shorts? If the skin on your legs has a rash or looks abnormal, discuss it with your doctor, or perhaps see a dermatologist. This should be easy to diagnose and perhaps fix. Good luck!
