Rashes

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I've seen several sites that have pictures of the Still's rash (including

our own http://www.stillsdisease.org/stills_rash), but mine was nothing like

that. My hands and feet swelled a bit and turned purplish-red. The best way

to describe it is the look of a really really terrible sunburn on very white

skin. It was solid, not blotchy, and travelled halfway up my arm and ankles.

It eventually faded, and was never itchy or uncomfortable, other than the

swelling. But my torso and upper legs and arms were clear.

(oh, and the real fun started when the swelling and rash disappeared, and

all the skin peeled off my hands and feet... and everyone was calling me

lizard )

But is that unusual? And while I'm still in a flare-up, should the rash

still be there? Do you always get rashes with flares, or just the fever/sore

throat/etc? How do you define your " flares " ?

Thanks!
