I have a rash on my right thigh. It looks to be a bunch of little red dots, (looking like pimples) some are small, and some are medium. The strange thing is, it doesnt itch! I have had this strange rash thing on my leg almost all summer. But the weird thing is, its only on my one leg! It just wont go away! I do shave my legs, so it may be from that. Can you give me any advice on what you think it is and how I can make it go away before school starts? Thank you so much. :)

  1. This could be tiny ingrown hairs, I have these on my shoulder, I have never shaved there the skin doctor says sometimes things like this run in families.  I use a loofa and make sure to put plenty of lotion.


  2. you should probably go see your doctor. even if it's not serious, he can give you something for it  

  3. yeah..it might be folliculitis...an infection in the hair follicale. this could be caused by shaving with a dirty or blunt razor.,,,get some antihistimins and antibiotics from your doctor to clear it. you may also have ingrown hairs...even though your legs would most likely be itchy if you had them

  4. I DONT KNOW if any of these apply but this is a good way to check.gave suggested page. second site its if you wish to search for more answers if those dont apply.

    Most often, a rash affecting the lower legs is a type of dermatitis. The terms ‘dermatitis’ and ‘eczema’ are often used interchangeably. Acute dermatitis presents as erythematous, oedematous and blistered plaques. Chronic dermatitis accompanied by rubbing and scratching results in darkened (hyperpigmented), and thickened (lichenified) plaques.

    There are several different types of lower leg dermatitis, which is common at all ages.  

  5. dont shave were the bumps are for a while and try puttin caladryl on it to try them out

  6. If it's on your inner thigh, it could be abrasion (from your thighs rubbing together.) Of course, it could also be viral, bacterial, or an allergic reaction. But in any case, if it won't go away, go to a dermatologist, or a General practicing doctor.
