“My daughter has a rash”
My daughter is 14. She just came in and showed me a rash on the front on her leg right above her foot/ankle. She said it doesn't hurt or itch. I've never seen anything like it. It looks almost like someone repeatedly slapped her. It's about 5 inches long and between 1-2 inches wide.

It’s probably erythema ab igne if she has had a heating pad there or some other heat source present at the site. If not you should see a board-certified dermatologist soon. That type of appearance can be vasculitis or vasculopathy which is important to have evaluated.
