Small, Pin-sized Dots On The Lower Legs, No Itching Or Pain. Had Been Camping All Day. Is It A Bug Bite?

About a month ago, I notice little red, pin sized dots on my lower legs. it actually looks like someone took a red ink pin and tried to color on me. they do not hurt, itch or burn . well, they went away, we went camping, so i was thinking it was a bug bite , but no one else in my family had them..........well, they came back, noticed them, yesterday and because of the rain, I have not been out side or camping......any idea?

Hi,
After reading your history it appears that you might have developed allergic dermatitis to some contact allergen or due environmental agent. I advise you to not pinch or pop the area otherwise these areas are very prone for getting secondary infection. You can apply an steroid cream such as cortisone cream. If itching is present then can take benadryl accordingly. Apply a plenty of moisturizers over the affected area. If these increase the n consult a dermatologist for higher treatment
