hi,

ive had this redness on my inner thigh for months. docs cant tell me what it is, waiting to see dermatologist. within the last few days, these red spots developed- and seem to be trailing all down my leg. Looks like two different things, but im at a loss as to what to do, as i cant get into derm for another month, and every doc i see tells me to use hydrocortizone cream, despite telling them ive tried and its still there. image

      ive literally been tested for everything, from hsv to shingles. No one can give me an answer- but i also havent seen a dermatologist yet, im hopeful they will give me some answers!

    I noticed a while back that every time I drank coffee from Dunkin Donuts I would get a rash. It didn't matter which store or city/town I visited. I always got a rash from drinking their coffee. The rash appeared in the same place, every time.
