What Causes Itchy Red Dots On Legs?
I went on a run yesterday and in the middle of it my legs became so itchy. I itched them as i ran and once i was done, my legs were bright red with scratch marks. Its been a day and they havent gone away, only faded a tad. They also have small red dots along them.

Welcome
These may be due to allergy/insect bites.
Wash with soap & water.
Apply Caladryl lotion topically.
Take Benadryl in evening & Loridin in morning.
Like other allergic reactions, red spot allergies vary widely. If the spots are caused by insect bites, they will be itchy. These will often occur when you expose your skin to outdoor activities like camping or hiking among others. For instance the bee or wasp sting effects will appear big, and itchy with painful hives.
Take care.
