A kind of bruise (red) on the thighs, muscle pain and sensitivity to touch. The pain is targeted where the plaques are. I went skating on Sunday. No fall or injury. The pain started Sunday evening (soreness). The red spots appeared on Monday. On Tuesday other spots appeared. I notice that the pain is really on the spots and not on the whole thigh. No known health problem i noticed that the pain and the appearance of the lesions were more important in the evening, than in the morning. It was as if the friction during the day amplified the symptoms. I was also exposed to the cold on Saturday night, but the symptoms only presented themselves on Sunday night. Is it possible that it is frostbite? Thanks for the advice. Have a nice day

Good morning, Mrs,

It is impossible to determine the procedure to follow without having seen the lesions in question. Is it possible to upload some well-lit images?

Thanks for the information. In the absence of trauma or injury, I am of the opinion, for now, to only apply a fragrance free moisturizer like Aveeno, Glaxal Base or other, as often as needed. There is no maximum number of times during the day.

If this area is susceptible to rubbing, the application of a protective paste such as Zincofax or even Vaseline can be considered.

If the lesions persist for more than 7 days without improvement or get worse, I suggest consulting a doctor as a precaution.

I hope I've been helpful, I'm still available if you have any other questions!
