Welcome to AMHD.

Could you please describe the rash in a little more detail?

Have you been walking in weeds so that it could be poison ivy, chiggers, or just a heat rash? Does it itch?

The more info you give the better we can answer.

We all hate to answer questions with questions, but we need as much detail as possible.

Without seeing them in person I cannot tell you how long it will take to go away. Because without a thorough history and physical (in person) I cannot diagnose something like this over the internet. All I can do is guide you in the right direction.

Have you been walking in any tall grass that could have caused bug bites?

I would suggest putting calamine lotion on the rash. This will dry it up (if it is a wet blister like rash) but more importantly will to keep the itching at a minimum and help the healing process.

I walk down alane everyday from work where there is a stream and there was a lot of small fly about do you think that might have had something to do with it .but the itch as gone and the rash is getting paler because it is cooler

Sounds to me like a bug bite that seems to be getting better.

Good luck
