Hello,
Red spots on the legs with swelling may be due to local insect bite with an allergic reaction or it may be due to anemia.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
It may be due to cellulitis or renal or cardiac failure.

Elevate the limbs, use painkiller medication if necessary.
If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
