What Causes A Red Dot On The Lower Thigh?
I have recently noticed a red dot on my lower thigh of my right leg. It was only the top layer of skin that looked as if it had pealed off. It is very raw and began to scab up but in in a circle shape about half an inch in diameter. I had assumed it was from chafing from my pants but i wanted a second opinion before i go in to a doctor.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. It could be a insect bite, puncture wound or ingrown hair that causing a superficial abscess. If its peeling off it means that the localised infection is resolving.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
