A long shot I know but maybe someone has had this or knows someone who has, I have had this for a long long time now, no itching, not sore, no discomfort at all, it just doesn't look good and the Mrs has been hassling me to go to the Dr and get it looked at, so I went to the Dr, he scratched his head gave me some anti inflammatory tabs and a completely useless cream, I used the cream and took the tabs for five days with no discernible improvement, I am currently using a mixture of Tea Tree Oil & virgin Coconut oil to try and control it.

 

Any ideas people, thanks in advance.

 

Could be a parasite,  The top one looks a bit like a ring worm.  I suggest a hospital visit, quickly!   If it is parasite you need treatment asap. Others may have a batter take on it. You sure will not get any definitive diagnosis here.

Diabetes would be my guess.

Thanks for your comment Pilotman, as I said I did visit the local emergency clinic but the doc didn't really have much of a clue, I have had these red weals for maybe 18 months or more.

Had a home diabetes test a couple of weeks ago courtesy of a friend of mine, and that was after 5 large beers, came back well below the limits for diabetes, also had plenty of tests in the past and all clear.

Lots of heat and sweat in the tropics.  just go to pharma and ask for an anti-fungal cream?  May help.

I have to add that the MIL has diabetes and was here today, she has never had these and would have told me if she had.

See a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment

I googled the cream in the above pic, I think that is similar, also Tea Tree Oil is known for its anti bacterial and fungal properties which why I'm using it.

Yah, Tea tree oil is popular in southern hemisphere.  However, lots of folks have mild reactions to the oil, causing the issue to become worse, in those cases try a non- tea tree solvent.  Good luck.

U got second stage Syphilis.

Causes

There are a number of potential causes of rashes, including allergies, diseases, reactions, and medications. They can also be caused by bacterial, fungal, viral, or parasitic infections.

Contact dermatitis

One of the most common causes of rashes - contact dermatitis - occurs when the skin has a reaction to something that it has touched. The skin may become red and inflamed, and the rash tends to be weepy and oozy. Common causes include:

 

• dyes in clothes
• beauty products
• poisonous plants, such as poison ivy and sumac
• chemicals, such as latex or rubber

Medications

Certain medications can cause rashes in some people; this may be a side effect or an allergic reaction. Also, some medications, including some antibiotics, cause photosensitivity - they make the individual more susceptible to sunlight. The photosensitivity reaction looks similar to sunburn.

Infections

Infections by bacteria, viruses, or fungi can also cause a rash. These rashes will vary depending on the type of infection. For instance, candidiasis, a common fungal infection, causes an itchy rash that generally appears in skin folds.

It is important to see a doctor if an infection is suspected.

Autoimmune conditions

An autoimmune condition occurs when an individual's immune system begins to attack healthy tissue. There are many autoimmune diseases, some of which can produce rashes.

For instance, lupus is a condition that affects a number of body systems, including the skin. It produces a butterfly-shaped rash on the face.

It looks like The Dreadious Lurgyitis. You need to see a venereal disease specialist.

You know a lot about that stuff....but you always have been a bit flakey bwaaaaahahahahahahah????????????????????????????????????????????

From the reply's you have so far I think what you have there is a case of nobody knows and can only add if you have money in the bank spend it now????

Thai public hospitals couldn't give a rats ass what you have. Just so long as they get double or more of the price that Thai people would pay for the treatment.

Good luck and be thankful you live in Thailand.

Do the spots change places?  Do you ever stay in other beds during the week?  

I have read you can bring them home on/in your luggage from hotels that have them.

This only occurs on my right leg, very strange, I have some Crocodile Tail in the excuse for a garden, I'll cut some off tomorrow and apply to the red bits, all my problems will be solved ????

 

amexpat, I didn't need to be advised or told to do anything so don't be amazed, you would be surprised at the problems identified on here, as I said in my OP " I know it's a long shot but.........) Get it ? looking for anyone with previous experience, that's all.

Yeah, I get it. You are open to lots of erroneous diagnoses and off topic rambling.  

You've come to the right place.
