The reason I know it isn't a sunburn is that it doesn't bother me to have clothes touching it - and as bad as it looked that would not have been possible.

    Thanks for the input on this...
    It really sounds similiar to what I had. I did some research at the time, and lots of reading pointed towards a histamine reaction of some sort. In my case, triggered by heat, but I imagine any number of things could do it. And yeah, mine was only on the front of my thighs, too. No where else on my body even though plenty of other places were hotter or more exposed or whatever. Very odd!

    I *think* there is an old thread here somewhere where I posted photos. I know we had a big discussion about this back in the day and I had planned to post pictures (I can't remember if I did or not!). Let me see if I can locate the thread...

    Edited to add: I found the thread. I guess I never took photos but there are lots of descriptions here.
