What Causes Red Spots On The Legs?

Hi. Yes. For the past month, I have been experiencing red spots that resemble small blooms all over my feet and legs. They are definitely not on the surface of the skin, but underneath. Not raised, no pain, or other symptoms. They appear about once every week, then fade within 3 to 4 days, then return. I sometimes experience a few on the upper torso, and get other localized skin eruptions (similar to blemishes), but nothing like the lower extremities. I forget about this condition until I take off my socks, etc. and there they are! I am not allergic to anything that I know of, have a healthy diet, but do drink alcohol on a regular but not excessive basis. I take a vitamin supplement that is plant-based. I greatly appreciated your help. Chris.

Hi
Thanks for positng your query on HCM.
I have read and understood your concern.
An allergic reaction is a possible cause of your symptoms.Given the intermittent nature of symptoms, other skin conditions that may cause such spots like infections may be less likely.I will advise you see a Dermatologist when the spots appear for examination.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns.
Best regards
