Rash on my legs after being in the cold. why does this happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rash: Is your rash itchy? Does it happen only on uncovered areas or all over? The differential is wide, but it can be cold induced urticaria. This is a physical reaction to the cold temperature and can be treated with antihistamines.
