What is red rash around lower leg above the ankle?

[MBaker6826]

Recently returned from Disney World and develop a red blotch rash just above the ankle bone on the inside of my leg.  The rash looks like specks of blood under the skin and in some areas form large red blotch.  There is slight swelling in the lower ankle area.  I did a lot of walking and the temperatures were in the upper 80's and lower 90's.  Is it weather related, lack of fluid?  I have never experienced this before.  Have read the blogs, seems others suffer from the same or similar symtoms.

I just left the medical station at the magic kingdom. It turned out to be Golfer Vasculitis caused by the concrete and the heat. The medical staff were very friendly.

Ian at Disneyworld as I type. I am searching for the reason that I am developing a bad rash from my ankle to the top of my calf. It's spreading. I have been in the water buts it's not above my calfs. I was on the avatar ride which has a support that touches this area of my leg. I wonder if Disney is using some kind of chemical on this ride. 8/23/17

I got this same rash in Florida Disney ..hot really angry rash from my ankles to just below my knees ..   it occurred  after going on the water rides ..  I went to see a medic at one of the parks who seemed to think it may be a reaction to the anti fungal that they put in the water at the parks .. it cleared up with in a couple of days ..

I had the same rash in April 2017 and it took about a week to clear. I just rubbed TEATREE oil diluted with coconut oil and it cleared and never seen

Mine took about 5 days to clear up but I used prescription strength cortisone cream on it and I didn't think it was doing much until one day it was very faint and by the end of that day it was hardly noticeable. Hope that helps.

I just did 4 parks in one day and my FitBit told me I walked 10.5 miles total, and when I got home and took off my tennis shoes I saw the rash on my inner leg, just above my ankle and just below my calf. It didn't itch and it wasn't swollen just really red and diseased looking. I took an antihistamine that night and the following day it looked no better after about 3 days of using prescription cortisone cream it looks a lot better. I go to Disney a lot and have never had this happen before the weather was beautiful, 79 degrees not hot. The only difference is I went to Animal Kingdom which I haven't been there in a long time and I did walk through a plant when someone was blocking a walk way. The time before when I was at Disney I saw someone with a similar rash. It's so weird, it's just a mysterious Disney rash. I do feel better knowing there are so many others who have had it, I seriously thought I was diseased and dying!

I recently walked around Epcot with 5 family members. Three of us were over 50. Two of the over 50s noticed this rash that looks like blood under the skin thats bright red and blotchy on the inside of our calves from atop the ankle to midway up the calves. It didnt itch and it was not painful. I did have some slight swelling around an ankle that had been fractured in my teens. The rash went away in less than a week. I guess our legs got a pounding from 11 hours on pavement. No worries.
