What causes rash on legs after consuming alcohol?
Patient: Hello. I ve noticed that every time I drink alcohol I end up w a rash on my lower legs. (Pin point like petichia) Now im starting to get a red tender inflamed area on the dorsal foot of both feet. It feels sore. Im on my feet all day and never get this rash, but as soon as i drink thats it. I ve done testing to check my platelets and their within normal limits. Please give me an idea of what it can be. Doctor: Hi,  It is erythema nodosum. There are so many triggers responsible for the disease. The factors may vary patient to patient. In your case, alcohol may be the triggering factor for the development of erythema nodosum. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. To prevent the the lesions,you must stop to take alcohol. If the lesions are there, get proper treatment from a dermatologist.  Hope I have answered your query.
