Is It To Be Worried About Dot Like Appearance In The Legs?
I live in the DFW area in Texas, so it s hot. I am a 61 year old woman and out in the sun a lot. After being outdoors this evening however, my legs were pocked w red dots. They were not itchy just scary! I showered and washed off bug spray and sweat. Although it was hot I wasn t in direct sun very much and had fans on my body on our patio. Should I be worried? Three hours after my bath and in comfortable ac the red pin marks are still here.

Hi,
Do you use any anticoagulant medicines internally? If so it may be blood stains due to the capillary level breakage. The stains disappear normally after 7-9 days step by step color change from red to dark blue, brown and slowly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
