Caller plays golf, when she went golfing she developed a rash on her ankles. This happened on Saturday the 26th. The product was applied two days before (Thursday the 24th) to the ground. Her friend then went golfing and developed the same reaction. It is a dark violet ring, about 2 inches in height, all around her ankles. The area does not burn, and does not itch. Caller is wondering if she used the correct product for the symptoms. She has used calamine lotion. The rash/discoloration is getting better by the day and continues to diminish; she still has about 2 inches around each ankle. Caller would like to report the incident as well.
