Dr Google seems to think it is probably a perimenopause symptom or a vitamin deficiency. I tend to get heat rash on my chest / neck , this is totally different to that
I considered that , nobody else has caught it
Did you Google lens the picture of your rash?
my legs are always like milk bottles when the rest of me gets some colour. it’s because the skin on your shins is thicker and naturally produces less melanin. it also doesn’t hold colour as well using fake tan either. forever a personal bugbear!
It isn't visible enough , it looks like normal skin at the minute. Itchy as hell though.
How bizarre. You don’t apply body lotion with a built in sunblock do you?
I have no idea what it is, I'm sorry. But I do know my allergies. If you can miss the money you can go to the drugstore and get an over the counter antihistamine. If you take it and the inch goes away, it's an allergy
Sometimes you just have to start somewhere. But that's easy for me to say because in my case 9 / 10 it's an allergy
Is the itch worse at night? I wouldn’t rule out scabies it can take a while for other members in household to display the symptoms
Could it be urticaria @Kim Mild ?
nono just nivea suncream
Red, or alternatively very pale, shins can be a sign of poor circulation. It doesn't seem to quite line up with not tanning but for lack of a better idea... Do you get your blood pressure checked? Might be worth looking into.
i think last time i got my blood pressure checked it was normal and that was around the last 2 weeks of may. i don’t think it’s poor circulation cause other than that i have signs of good circulation. i think it’s cause the skin on shins is thicker and produces less melanin. thanks tho!
I‘ve just had yet another complaint from a neighbour about one of my dogs barking and she’s sent a video - except it’s not my dog doing most of the barking in the video, it’s actually next door’s.
The same neighbour previously complained about my dog barking early in the morning - totally fair, and we have stopped that by putting her anti-bark collar on when she goes out first thing. But now she’s complaining about her barking at other times. My girl is a terrier so naturally quite barky but we don’t allow her to bark relentlessly in the garden, it will be for less than a minute at most before we stop her and she isn’t in the garden all day anyway.
The other thing is that next door’s dogs are actually more barky and there’s another dog behind us which barks a lot but for some reason, the neighbour is fixated on my dog. I don’t really know what to do. I have told her that it’s mostly the other dogs in the video but I‘m a bit annoyed. I would understand it if my dog was out there barking all day long, but she really, really isn’t. The complaining neighbour suffers from insomnia and I suspect she’s not sleeping with the heat and is possibly more touchy than normal. I don’t want to fall out with her but I’m starting to feel a bit unfairly got at.

Does your dog bark when your neighbours dogs bark? If not can you film your dog when the others are barking?
Yes, she does, but we don't let her continue, we immediately tell her no and she generally stops. It turns out next door have also had a complaint and they feel the same way. Their dogs do bark but it's definitely not constant and they don't let them carry on.
The ironic thing is that the complainer's son smokes weed in their garden which drifts across all our gardens and is really unpleasant so I asked them nicely to ask him to go the other end of the garden but he still does it. Perhaps I should complain about that again!
I really do sympathise when dogs are a constant noise nuisance but ours genuinely isn't.
I would definitely complain about the weed smoking, that’s more antisocial than a barking dog.
I would video your dog being quiet while the other neighbour’s dog is barking and send her that. Also recommend Aldi’s own Sleepytime teabags for her insomnia, they are a godsend.
Yes, I think I will do that.
I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but the police don't actually bat an eyelid to weed. I knew this already but the other day a person gave my address as their details so they turn up at mine. Many of my neighbours smoke it like it's going out of fashion, the police had a friendly conversation with them so don't hold out much hope with the dibble
I'm not going to be reporting the weed smoking. I know from experience of repeatedly reporting drug dealing that the police don't give a toss. Besides, I genuinely don't want to fall out with my neighbours, I just think she's being a bit unreasonable.
It's not your fault he hasn't done due diligence before getting the puppy, he should have checked with his roommate, made sure the puppy could be trained and socialised enough to live in shared accommodation. You've done your best but your health and life clearly isn't suitable for a dog, time to rehome the puppy. He deserves a home where his needs are met and you deserve peace. If your friend wanted the dog this badly he could have moved and taken the pup with him. He just wants visiting rights without the responsibility. Sadly the dog issue may have showed his true colours. Glad you decided on a deadline, I hope the dog finds the right home and you have your peace of mind.
