In Reply to: Are bed bugs common in Bali? posted by guest78au on Tuesday, 6. July 2010 at 17:07 Bali Time:
for quite a few years each time we go to Bali I have been getting a rash on both legs below the knees mainly on the back in the calf area and all around my ankles that is extreamly red, hot and itchy. My doctor told me it was caused by the blood vessels dialating due to the heat and humidity. I use a cortisone cream followed by Curash powder all over my legs just before getting in bed and by morning the swelling and most of the redness has gone. I have also found that if I float in the pool for a while in the afternoon it help reduce the redness and itchiness considerably. There is also another type of rash called Golfers vascullitis caused from too much walking that is not as itchy. I get the rash at home sometimes as well if I walk too far.
