During my 21 mile hike, I developed golfers vasculitis on my right ankle. It hurt almost as much as the blisters and was along the edge of the foot as well.

I was wearing two pairs of wool socks and can only figure I over heated my leg and caused the rash.

I plan to test out coolmax sock liners and considering going back to cotton booty socks. (I am wearing shoes)

Has anyone else had to deal with this. What is your best way of prevention.

There are many threads concerning this.
I get it every year and I hear it's especially HOT on the Camino right now in some sections.
It will go away on its own.

I apologize. I did a search for this term, but must have had the box checked on "this forum only" I typically do some checking first.

I do appreciate you pointing it out though as this is a bit of a concern and I certainly want to avoid it. Thanks.
