RE: Has anyone experienced rash on lower legs and feet with MCTD?

Hello,

YES, I've had RA for 14 years, and MCTD for 5. I get rashes all the time, different places but mostly around my waist area and my lower legs. I also have pretty bad lower leg edema at times. I'm seeing a new Rheumy soon and they have a Lupus center so I'm excited about perhaps getting to the bottom of all of this rash stuff!

Good Luck,
Karen

Welcome to the board. I don't have this problem but I do think there is a recent thread about this on the Rheumatoid Arthritis board that may be of interest to you. You may have to do some searching to find it or post on that board and someone might bring it forward for you. God bless.

I have been dx with MCTD, Raynauds, Fibromyagia..... you know the drill.... I have run the usual gammet of drugs....plaquenil, prednisone, MTX, imuran, now cellcept...

Recently, I have experienced a strange rash around my ankles and bottom of my foot then also half way around my inner lower leg. The first time it appeared it was about one inch wide, this time it is approx 3 inches on one side but still 1 on the other. The rash is not itchy, is not painful but very red. Both instances were after spending a full 8 hours on my feet. I can't find anything that resembles the look of it online.
