I did a quick Google Images search and found this:

I was on a live-aboard a few of years ago when a lady got bent. She didn't even realise she had DCS. Her only symptoms were fatigue and the rash.

Hope that helps.

I have had skin bends several times, and those photos pretty much sum it up... mine was darker purple and SUPER itchy. The rash and itch showed up about 2-3hrs after finishing the dive and lasted into the next day. If you think you might have it, CALL DAN!!!!! 1-919-684-8111

Did you have the extreme fatigue too?

You may want to review your diving practise?

Cool Pics ScubaLuke, I always wondered what the rash looked like.

I have to agree with Shaka this time. I have had skin bends several times... is a wild statement for someone with less than 200 dives.

Anybody wilder than me has got to need change.
