What is the cure for honeycomb like looking rash on thigh?
Patient: My sister age 33, has suddenly noticed a honeycomb or spiderweb looking rash on her right thigh, also her left leg is slightly swollen mostly in the calf to ankle area. No swelling in the leg with the rash. The rash is not raised like hives, does not itch or burn. No pain other than periodic muscle cramp in left leg. Doctor: Hello,Welcome to healthcare magic.From your description, the rash may be a pattern called as livedo reticularis.It is a pattern which could be associated with autoimmune disorders and antiphospholipid syndrome. This could also explain the painless swelling of the other leg.She requires a detailed evaluation for the same.However, a honeycomb rash on the thigh can also occur in a condition called erythema an igne. This occurs after keeping a hot surface in contact with the skin for a long time ( laptop, hot water bag, etc) . But this is not associated with limb swelling.Hope this helps you.Take care.
