red spots all over my legs

[mheyganda]

I have been a lot of red spots on my legs. It was like mosquito bite, suddenly appears when I get stressed. I went to the doctor and done blood test but I don't have any allergy, the doctor told me that it was about the dna, then he refer me to other doctor. But the doctor is available at 2 weeks. I want to know what is this because its almost 3 years from now.

Hello,
Eczema, dermatitis, folliculitis, razor bumps all can cause rashes on the legs. An allergic reaction is one of the main causes for red spots on the skin. Another main cause is eczema. You need to consult a dermatologist and get the accurate diagnosis. This is merely an opinion. For exact diagnosis a complete clinical examination will be really helpful. Do write to me again.
Best of luck and regards!

Hello,
These itchy red spots can be due to hives skin. Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes. They have a tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours.

Avoid using any lotions and creams for the meantime. Use a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Also use cotton clothes and change the clothes twice if there is any increased sweating.Try keeping the skin free of sweat as far as possible. If the symptoms still persist then you can apply mild steroid after prescription.For the itching antihistaminics like Benadryl or Claritin can be taken.
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 doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
