I think you should get it checked by a medical professional as Roz suggests - just to be on the safe side.

I also took pictures of them in case they were ever needed.
Hubby has had those same type on his leg as well. The largest became the size of a silver dollar. Now he has had a few appear on his arm but all very small so far and just a few - Hoping they stay away......they are not fun for him.

Look Hubby,
I hope I'm wrong. She is at high risk for loosing her leg. But again Angel's leg is not just a few blisters. Since we haven't heard from Angel, I hope she is seeking care right away. Hugs, Roz

Default Blisters

I agree with your husband, they aren't any fun at all. Mine, just as your husbands started out bigger and with many more the first time and after the initial outbreak they have been fewer and smaller blisters. They itch terribly as well as hurt.

I understand these are not the same as the ones in the picture. I only was trying to show that there are different types of rashes and blisters that anyone with RSD can experience. Many think and have commented they didn't think the blisters were coming from their RSD. My Dr confirmed mine during the outbreak and I feel this information is good to pass on to others that may experience it.
As for the foot in the picture, yes I agree she needs to be seen immediately by her Dr or a Hospital due to the severity of the condition the foot is in.

Default Rash?

Kinda looks like the tiny blood vessels cant take the swelling and are bursting under the skin. I agree with everyone that you need to go to the doctor pronto!

It looks very uncomfortable. I get the drying skin just like what you have there, but I havent got the swelling quite that bad. I think it is because I have the type II. Is yours type I?

Gotcha in my prayers

Here's a article involving cellulitis and RSD.

Skin changes that have been reported include chronic edema, blisters, erosions, ulceration, cellulitis, and acute whitlow-like inflammatory nail changes on the affected limbs.

Hey Everyone!!

Thanks soo much for the responses ! I lOVE YOU GUYS soo much you dont understand!!

I called my PM doc and bc he is an hour and 1/2 away from me he also suggested going to see my pcp or a dermatologist. I went and saw my Primary doc and he thinks its due to the RSD definetly and thinks its a Pain Rash. Its not warm to the touch and i dont have any blisters so he thinks its just because of the weather here in NY changing soo fast and going back to artic cold and then also over doing it and pushing through the pain and then paying for it when i get off it at nite.. (ya all konw what i mean!! ) But Its still ugly looking and more purple now... the part on my foot is better looking , so maybe it will all be just a cycle i have to go through when i dont behave ...lol?? SOo i will keep you all posted and my doc did say if it did get worse and the burning pain gets worse to go to the ER also.. but what can they do?? i mean really? if all the lotions out there make it worse and its nothing really that a n anti biotic will touch??? grrr.. i hate this disease.. guess my foot modeling days are over hahahahah... gotta laugh or else i will cry..

Thanx again everyone!! to everyone of you !!

Im hungry... and have to see if there is anything in the cupbaords to make.. or else my belly is gonna be talking till supper..lol

Hi RSD-Angel,

I posted the other day that your rash is exactly the same as one I have had a couple of times. I was sent to a dermatologist and he diagnosed vasculitis. I am wondering what your doctor means when he calls it a "pain rash"
The good news is that if it is what I have had, it does go away eventually but may leave some very slighly darker skin where it was. That leg/foot modelling career may not be over, just on hold.
