New Zealand Golf Vasculitis

Do you suffer from Golfers Vasculitis or Exercise Induced Vasculitis?

This is what mine looks like:


I've had it for over 5 years. It usually appears after a round of golf or lots of walking in the heat. The only thing that seems to work is compression socks, although they are hot to where and quite hard to get off and on and steroid cream like hydro cortisone has helped to clear it a little quicker.

I'll get it on both legs and on the sides of my calves and it seems to be get worse and comes back very quickly to the same spots. 

It can be  little sore and goes away after about 3 to 7 days and has made my lower limbs a little darker pigmented. 

If you have any wonderful ideas or solutions I'd love to give them a try.
