if you are experiencing golfer's vasculitis i have found that it can be prevented by wearing pressure stocking during activities. i suffer from this in the summer when it’s hot and humid (the severity seems to increase as humidity levels rise) and over the last 5 years have come to hate summers because my lower legs are always either red and irritated looking or brown and bumpy looking as the gv slowly recedes. i just thought i would pass along what i have found prevents or at least greatly reduces the occurrence of my gv. i had to wear pressure stockings (jobst) for a time last summer. it was hot. it was humid. i was on my feet all day at the stable highly active and on my feet dreading taking my stockings off that evening. to my great surprise when i got home - no gv on either leg. this past week with heat in the 90’s and “feels like” temps of the low 100s i remembered the jobst stockings and wore them - just a touch of gv about the size of a quarter just above one ankle. they're not the most beautiful socks in the world and they're a pain to get on and off but they are now my 'go-to' when i have to be working at the barn for more than 2 hours when it's hot and humid. they're not cotton they're not loose - and they work for me.
i have a rash on my lower legs just above ankles-no pain and no itching. is this a circulation problem or what? . i am using a cortizone 10 cream which seems to help.
