Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all, it is sad to know what you had been experiencing lately. Based on the history you have shared, it can be allergic rash since No history of fever or any other association rules out infective causes mostly but may need to be evaluated further with clotting profile to look for other blood related causes of those red spots. Usually these resolve at its own, but if itching is present may need anti histamines like cetrizine or loratidine and if persists then topical steroid ointments. If doesn't resolve then get it reviewed by a dermatologist and if increases in Size may need autoimmune and vasculitis work up. Wishing you a speedy recovery. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
