Knitty Kitty, Thank you for the advice. I will definitely get some niacin supplements and try them. Can't hurt anything that's for sure. Yes I was wearing shorts last summer when the rash first appeared. I haven't been completely clear since.

Last summer I developed a small rash on my lower left leg on the front. It was a little itchy but I didn't think much of it. I wasn't sure what it was because I am immune to poison ivy.
