any of you ever had this before??
 

slightly elevated quarter-sized red patches of skin that can somewhat burn (on back / leg / neck)?

if so, what did it turn out to be? (this isn't for me btw :))

nope.. fortunately, not yet..
i guess that looks terrible..

no it's hardly noticable, not all that red.

Are you talking about Rosacea? I have a few friends with that.

It ranges from the above picture (kinda splotchy looking) to full-blown 'patches' of skin like that. Burning is quite a common symptom of it, as well as a little bit of swelling from time to time.

Thats got to be one of the ugliest motherfuckers i've ever seen.............

Ringworm?
