Amazing how one can find information when one is asking the right way. Loads of info…sorry to have bothered..and thanks.There’s plenty of discussion on the forum of hiker’s rash of golfer’s rash. Also called exercise induced vasculitis (EIV), and very common on the Camino. EIV seems more likely than purpura, which is a symptom of significant underlying conditions, based on the entry in Wikipedia.
When my wool socks touched my skin this happened to me. I pulled my liners up and and it went away.I have been hiking for over three years. Leaving restaurants, flights and commercial activities aside, I started walking more than the usual 2 kms. Lost 20 kgs.
I am Preparing to hike / walk the Olvidado, thevSan Salvador and Primitivo in September. Training has become essential as there are stages of close to 30 kms and lots of gradients.
The day before yesterday, I hiked my first 40 km. Returning home, both my feet and legs showed red rashes.No itching but spots of red here and there. At first, I thought that it was due to new trousers and new hiking shoes, then it was due to heat and extra effort, and finally due to lactic acid but I had a doubt.
I searched this forum and found no mention of this, reason why I started this thread.
Has anyone had experience of these red rashes that tend to disappear after some time?
Pharmacies are very helpful if you can find it open when you are there. May have to walk on until the hour they open or reopen. They are well versed on peregrino ailments.I have been hiking for over three years. Leaving restaurants, flights and commercial activities aside, I started walking more than the usual 2 kms.

I had similar a few weeks ago on the Portuguese Camino and, although it spread quite a bit, it eased after a couple of days of rest.My husband gets this rash on any multi-day walking/hiking trip in hot weather, not just the camino. His doesn't itch or hurt, just looks alarming. It is has been diagnosed "golfer's rash" - or exercise-induced vasculitis. Clears up on its own after a few weeks back home.
If it returns, you really will be okay. It goes away within a week at the longest.i will be walking/ hiking 34 km tomorrow and on Thursday. We will see whether this returns. Anything preventing me from starting the second part of the Camino makes me nervous. When hiking from Toulouse to Pamplona, these rashes were never there.
Yes it is vasculitis. It occurs when blood pools due to the circulatory system being unable to adequately pump blood back toward the heart when you are exerting yourself, usually on hikes with steeper pitches. I never get it while doing small hikes or long walks. My friend says heat makes her's worse. We both think socks with really tight cuffs, Darn Tough for example, make it worse. We both have blood pressure on the low side, so I wonder if that is also contributing to it. Since I started making sure I drink more water while hiking I have gotten it only once, and not severely.I have been hiking for over three years.

Hikers rash, I’ve had it a few times, usually when I’ve been hiking with a heavy pack, but as I get older (62) it seems to happen even without a heavy pack. As others have said, it’s not painful or itchy. If you’re worried, see a doc to confirm.I have been hiking for over three years.
