Welcome - glad you finally decided to post.

I don’t have an answer to your question - ie what’s causing it.

But I used to have a reddish patch on the inside of my right leg -calf area. It was not solid - it was like a lace pattern .

It has gone away with Bartonella treatment.

My first instinct is mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). My arms look like that after a hot bath or exertion. Stress is a major trigger for MCAS, too. Maybe something to look into for you. Many of us with these infections develop MCAS as a result.

Thank you girlie and saraeli.
I do think I have bartonella (i have the streaks) and it could also be MCAS.
I put it to the test 2 hours ago and took a Claritin.
So far it's about 50% less red already.
I wonder if that would explain it is MCAS.

Sure it could.

You can add other things that are non pharma for mcas. Quercetin ... curcumin....are two I take.
I also take vitamin c 1000 mg at a time - I read that can help too.
