It can appear as red blotches, purple (purpuric) patches, or small dots.Exercise-induced vasculitis is a harmless form of cutaneous small vessel vasculitis.
It is also called golfer’s vasculitis. It is a neutrophilic inflammatory disorder involving the small or medium-sized blood vessels of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. When only the small capillary vessels are involved, it is also called exercise-induced capillaritis. What are the clinical features of exercise-induced vasculitis?
Golfer’s vasculitis (exercise-induced vasculitis) mainly affects one or both lower legs and thighs, with single or multiple episodes of a rash with the following characteristics: Involvement of exposed skin and sparing of skin protected by socks or stockings; Red patches, urticarial lesions (weals) and purpura (purple spots).The medical name for Disney rash is exercise-induced vasculitis (EIV). This condition is also called golfer’s rash, hiker’s rash, and golfer’s vasculitis.
Disney rash is a nickname for exercise-induced vasculitis (EIV). It typically occurs when a person performs prolonged exercise, such as walking, golfing, or running, in hot temperatures.The characteristic rash usually appears above the ankles, on both legs, sometimes extending up as high as the knees. Golfer’s vasculitis is more likely to occur in women than men, in older people rather than younger ones.Golfer’s Vasculitis: Understanding Its Cause And Treatment Vasculitis Vasculitis And Multiple Sclerosis: Differences And Similarities Home Treatment for Skin Allergy: Ways You Can Relieve Skin Rash, Itching and Redness at Home Razor Burn Soothing the Rough Spots Ways To Clean With Baking Soda Baking Soda Can Be Used To Get Rid Of Heartburn.

Polyarteritis nodosa. This form of vasculitis usually affects the kidneys, the digestive tract, the nerves and the skin.Vasculitis occurs when the immune system attacks the blood vessels by mistake. Some of the symptoms include rashes, lesions, intense burning and itching, and swelling.
Golfers’ vasculitis, also called hikers’ vasculitis, is an exercise induced process causing damage to the small blood vessels and occurs with prolonged standing or walking.Exercise-induced vasculitis is a small-vessel vasculitis affecting the lower legs that occurs after strenuous sports activity such as running or hiking, particularly during hot weather. It is more common in women over 50 years of age and presents with petechial or urticarial rash with edema, itch or pain in an otherwise healthy patient.
Hi, Golfer’s vasculitis is a form of vasculitis (swelling of the blood vessels) experienced in the lower legs caused by excessive exercise in hotter temperatures. It is more common among older people.Like the Aussies, we’ll call it Golfer’s Vasculitis. This exercise-induced leg rash affects otherwise healthy people who have been walking in warm, humid climates.
If cutaneous vasculitis is a manifestation of systemic vasculitis then treatment of the systemic disorder is required. What is the outlook for cutaneous vasculitis? Vasculitis limited to the skin has a good prognosis with most cases resolving within a period of weeks to months. The vasculitis may recur at variable intervals after the initial.
A number of patients presented with an erythematous, purpuric rash occurring on the legs in association with playing golf and also after prolonged walks or hikes. Many patients believed that it was an allergic reaction to grasses or insecticides and had sometimes undergone extensive allergy testing.Golfer’s vasculitis, and Exercise-induced vasculitis” aka hiker’s rash, are names proposed by different medical researchers for a form of vasculitis resulting in a purpuric rash.
