Red Dots on Thigh

[CourtneyJ]

Im not sure I put this in the right topic. However, I've got these dots on my inner thighs. They aren't bumpy, and there isn't many of them

Theres the same thing on the other leg, but not as many little dots.

They did go away after a couple of days. However, they keep coming back in different places on my thigh. Is this normal?

Petechiae are pinpoint-sized red dots under the surface of the skin. They are common after skin trauma and viral infections. They should go away in a few days. But if they persist then please consult a physician and get other causes ruled out which include allergic reaction, autoimmune diseases, thrombocytopenia, ITP or leukemias.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
