So yesterday I hiked my longest distance, 20 miles, on the roads in Austin. It took me about 7 hours to complete. Afterwards my legs and ankles had blotchy red patches. What is going on? Then today I hiked my longest trail distance, 15 miles, on the Barton Creek Greenbelt. This time it took about 7 hours too, because it is a lot more rocky & uneven and I used my hiking poles. And the blotches are still there. Then don’t hurt, and only tingled a little when I showered afterwards. I looked it up on Google, and it’s known as “Golfer’s Vasculitis” but didn’t find a solution other than to just let them heal. I just started to wear a pair of SmartWool socks. I wonder if that has something to do with it?
Hi there. I was wondering if you had any resolution as to what could be done about this type of rash? I just got back from vacation at the beach and had this happen to me as well. I was keeping up with my 3 year old in the water a lot more than usual, and then was also swimming deeper in the rough waves myself, and then this came up later that night, along with massive ankle/lower leg swelling. Every photo that looks like what I have looks like what you have as well so I can only assume it’s the same thing. Thanks.
Sorry, but no resolution. I am now hiking the 2650 mile PCT and my blotches are gone, go figure
