I get this rash on my legs and it comes out in red patches here and there! The red part is boiling hot while the rest of my leg is still cool! It doesn't seem like a heat rash, because I sometimes get it from just standing!! And it bruns like hell!!! What could it be? Could it go away? It started when I was in grd 5...it's been 5 years on and I still get it!

You could be having an allergic reaction to the chemicals in the hottub or if no chemicals something that someone else brought into the hottub. Germs, bacteria, staph (MRSA even). Try a bath in milk or Aveeno oatmeal, 1 Benedryl, pat dry your legs gently when you get out & gently apply witch hazel & see a dr. as soon as possible. If it's staph, you will need professional relief. You could've even been bit by something (spider in your sleep) or associating the rash w/ the hottub, but it could be something else. Best to be seen or at least call a dr. Good luck.

I´m agree with the people that say it's not a normal rash. I´m a doctor, and it seems to be an autoimmune disease (your body reacts against your own tissues). Maybe is not a very big deal but, you should go to the doctor and perform some blood test.

You should probably see a doctor about it. Just in case. I get rashes like that, but only when I'm picking berries, or swimming in salt water or after i shave. If your rash just randomly comes and goes, it could be something like eczema, which can be treated.

Hives?
It could also be that you have very sensitive skin and are being rubbed the wrong way by your clothing if it is a coarse material like denim or if the pants are so tight that it isn't allowing your skin to breathe properly.
You could also be reacting to a body lotion, shower gel, laundry detergent or fabric softener. If it doesn't go away, call your doctor or see a dermatologist.

DEFINITELY SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD BE ECZEMA!
i have this too -- areas of super-dry, super-itchy, red skin. sometimes they come out of nowhere. see a dermatologist when it flares up, to get a proper diagnosis.
i use "Aquaphor" ointment on the patches (by Eucerin; you can find it in major drugstores), and it hydrates and soothes like no other cream or lotion i've ever tried. (my dermatologist recommended it as the best moisturizer for eczema.) but definitely see a doctor to confirm what you have!
Good luck :)

Maybe ezima or psoriasis. Talk to your dr. A rash doesnt last 5 years.

um, have you asked a doctor about this? I mean, i could see dealing with this for 3, maybe 4 years, but 5 years is right out...

u need to see a doctor quick! it seems pretty serious. u should put an ice pack on ur boiling part. it seems to me like an allergie, u shuld try reactine (its for alergies and it works well) but if something happens to u its not my fault. because i know i'm not a doctor, go visit a doctor!

It sounds like it's a chronical infection of some type. Go to a dermatologyst for sure, you don't want that running in your blood. Get that taken care of.

Tell your mother and or Father.
Ask them to take you to a Dermotoligist.
Another thing that you could do that will not cost you any money is to go to the School Nurse and ask her to look at them..
