What Causes Recurring Reddish Rash On The Upper Legs?

This happened today and has happened the last time I mowed the lawn. I mowed on a rider. I had the tops of my legs covered and after mowing there is a red rash on the top of my upper legs. It doesn not itch. My legs were not exposed to the sun. The top of my legs are covered with the rash

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

These red rashes over skin of upper legs could be due to allergic hives or atopic dermatitis or insect bite while you were moving into the lawn.

The important thing is to diagnose first rather than treatment.

You can go to some local doctor for detailed history and inspection of rashes to have a clear diagnosis.

You might require topical corticosteroid like beclomethasone, clobetasol or mometasome with antifungal cream like miconazole or itraconazole with antihistamines orally.

Your red rashes will go away within 1 to 2 days with this symptomatic treatment.

Regards,
