Q: I have a red rash on my lower leg

that has red bumps on it. it doesnt itch so much as it does hurts to the touch almost like a bruise. I may have come in contact with poison sumac but the rash didnt show up until maybe 3 or four days after i believe. It seems like it may have swelled a little as well. Im treating it as sumac right now because that is my best guess as to what it could be. any clue?

Hi Robbieg,

 

It'd be best to have the rash evaluated by your physician. May be a delayed allergic reaction or could also be an infection.

 

All the best,
