Burning arms and legs
Last Friday night, my legs started to burn. The next day, it didn't go away so I got worried. Tuesday, I went to the doctor and told him about it, he said I was stressed out too much. I have been stressed out recently(check out the other topic I created).
Wednesday night, I took a shower for the first time since this happened. I was too scared to go before. When I came out I noticed redness wrapped around my knee. It took maybe about 30 minutes for it to return to normal skin color.
I just came out of the shower now and there it was again, there wasn't as much redness on the knee, but it was spread out a bit, however not as much as before. This time, it disappeared in five minutes. Could be because I finished off the shower by letting cold water pour down on my legs. I can tell you for sure it's not a rash because there is no bumps, only the skin color changes and goes back to normal after a while.
What could this be? Stress, NERVE Damage? Is this related to STDs or HIV at all?
I need some reassurance.

No, there is definitely no bumps. It's like when you press hard on your skin and take it off and it becomes red type of redness. lol sorry but that's the only way I could put it. I'm going to see someone on Wednesday and will let you know then.
Hi,
A Rash is a very broad term, but if you mean there is a perceptible lesion there or not, my answer would be yes. This may be called a transient rash.
please let us know what your doctor says and if you may need any more information.
Best regards

No, I don't recall of any allergic reactions on the skin before. Not allergic to anything besides dust where I get a runny nose and I sneeze a lot. General stuff.
I will be seeing a specialist soon. Do you think it's a rash? The redness disappears within 10-15 minutes after I get out of the shower.

Hi,
Nothing can be said for sure without a clinical examination and having a look at the lesions.
This could be allergic reactions or hypersensitivity to some unknown substance.
Have you had allergic reactions in the past? Are you allergic to any specific substances?
You should take oral antihistamine medications and apply calamine lotion at the site and see if it helps.
Schedule an appointment with a skin specialist and post us about what he/she advises.
Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any doubts.
Regards.
