    That might make sense as a viral reaction then. Definitely do make sure it isn’t anything infectious or serious though, I Am Not A Doctor.

    Mine was the classic ‘Christmas tree’ pattern and looked like this on my front. More central spreading out. But I did see pics of others where it was focused and severe on their upper arms.

    As a rough idea:

    Front

    Pic of rash off the net

     

    Back

    Rash pic off the net

     

    It did recur for me a second time, much milder and confined to my back.

    I still do get hives on my face, arms and lower legs. (Small hard white bumps that then swell up into areas of diffuse red puffiness.) That is a completely different thing and more likely from stress, allergies/contact dermatitis or MCAS

      Mine are like this, with the herald rashes in the centre of further outbreaks

      With the last one being how it looked in the very beginning. But I’m just waiting to see the specialist on this Thursday. Never seen a skin specialist before. My health problems have been mostly mental rather than physical lol.
