Goat?

I just got the exact same thing on my leg too... and I don't even have cats or any other pets around the house (haven't been near any either)
anyone know what this is? I get a little paranoid when something weird pops up and I can't figure out where it came from...

Sometimes I get this redness popping up on my shins (just on the outer side)... the skin gets all rough and the pores seem to swell up.

It happened to me a few years back, and now it’s flared up again after a couple of days.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?🤷

It’s hard to say for sure just from what you're describing—but honestly, spring is officially here. Pollen counts are starting to climb everywhere, and so many people don't even realize they're dealing with allergies until it hits them. It could also just be a reaction to some new shampoo, lotion, or fabric softener you've been using... So, definitely don't freak out thinking it's some major skin condition if the symptoms are just small, localized spots. Of course, if things start spreading, go see a dermatologist!

You’re describing a ring pattern... it's hard to say for sure just from a description. Is there any chance you encountered a tick in that area? You might want to look up Lyme disease on Google to see if the symptoms match what you're seeing. Try not to panic just yet.
