Random Red Spots On Thighs, Arms, Soft Skin Areas, Scabs, Flaky Skin. Taking Medication For ADD. Cure?

I have been getting random little red dots on my upper thighs, arms and other soft skin areas. They feel like thin layered scabs, and are usually a deeper red. They are flaky sometimes, and with effort I m able to pull off the pray layer of scab leaving a soft surface with a red dot. They are about the size of a pencil eraser. Keep in mind, I ve had a poor diet since I began taking aderal for my ADD. Any ideas?
