Otherwise, fiberglass often protrudes from older material, and it could very
well be that it is directly contacting your skin, thus causing the rash. If
you think glass fibers have taken up residence in your skin, you can apply
wax to your leg (I'm sure you know how). It will remove most of the fibers
in the same way it removes hair. Wax is probably not ideal for a rash, but
maybe the end justifies the means in this case. Of course, a hot soak will
help clear foreign substances from the skin.
In any event, fiberglass isn't something you want sticking around. Good
luck!

Best response is to clean board well with acetone, sand back with about 240
grade sandpaper and paint on fibreglass resin. (not the deck though!!) That
can be a bit hard though, and may lead to resin runs and dribbles if you
have not done fibreglass work before.
Easy way is to prep as above (good good clean then sandpaper), then spray
with a clear auto touchup acrylic paint (not varnish cos it is yellow)
It will only last a season max though, you'll have to do it again, as the
clear paint is much less resistant to wear than a fibreglass (polyester)
resin is.

The rash has appeared twice on my left upper thigh area and again on
the left near my knee so if we replicate the way I carry the board
(Same way each time) we can see..or it may be happening when I water
start in one direction?? It is definitely something shiny as you can
see the rash area sparkle in the sun..It's still sore today and very
red..lasts a few days. Roger, can you come any quicker? Haaa...See ya
soon Brian....it's HOWLING for weeks now..am taking the day off as the
masses will be at the beach today...gotta rest up for tonight. The
island is like freaken Beirut already.
Happy New Year and thanks everyone..

During the fall when I went in for my annual physical I mentioned it to
my doctor, he looked at the remains of the rash (slight scaring) and
questioned me about my hearing, eye sight and other things. He asked me
why I didn't come to him sooner and I asked the doc, what are you
getting at? He said I and a slight case of Shingles which is a form of
Chicken Pox.
What may be going on with you is that you may be scrapping/brushing
your skin against the sugar coated non skid then something in the water
could be irritating it. If the rash persists I would see a
dermatologist. It's better to see a professional than guess to what it
is.

Ann, I take it you haven't been rubbing yourself with the leaves of any
manchineel (manzanilla) trees. The urushiol rash usually takes me about
3 weeks to get rid of.
