What Causes A Honeycomb Rash On The Arm?

I have a perfect shaped honeycomb rash on my upper arm about one inch down from my shoulder. I went to urgent care and they said they have never seen anything like it and thought I burned myself (which I did not). I see there are others on here with the same question? This appeared overnight and looks like perfect stamp or impression of a honeycomb. The red is very deep and purplish and the center is light. Any ideas?

Hi,

It may b ecchymoses.... blood spread in deeper layer of skin. It can occur suddenly and without any cause. Trauma can induce it. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Take high doses of vitamin C. ..ok

Hope this helps.
