Unknown red spots on my legs

[allaine_jeorge]

I had these red spots that came out in my legs.I dont know how and where it came from. All I know is that it came up after me and my friends went to a hot spring. After that event these small red spots appeared. At first I am not bothered but after few days from one red spot it increases and now its in both of my legs's skin.I already consulted a dermatologist and was prescribed by a cream. The red spots disappear but after 2 months it came back. I am really bothered with these red spots. These spots are not itchy that is why I am very sure it is not eczema. I would like to know how I can get rid of these permanently. Thanks.

Hi,

This could be cherry angiomas. They are not harmful, and are considered a benign skin growth. Campbell de Morgan Spots are not painful, but some are prone to bleeding when scratched or bruised. From a purely medical perspective they don’t require removal unless they’re prone to bleeding frequently.

Commonly, doctors remove Campbell de Morgan Spots via three different methods. Electrosurgery is minor surgery, using a small needle that generates electricity to disrupt and remove an angioma. Cryotherapy is most common, and uses liquid nitrogen to essentially freeze off Campbell de Morgan Spots. Laser removal is now possible with many Campbell de Morgan Spots. These procedures tend to leave very little scarring, if any.

It would be advisable to consult a skin specialist for your symptoms and a proper clinical examination if your symptoms persist.
