The first possibility of the lesions you described is papular urticaria or insect bite hypersensitivity.The second possiblity is eczema.You need to moisturise the skin of the legs regularly as dry skin predisposes both the conditions. A topical steroid cream like mometasone over the affected area can also be used after consulting your doctor.Regards.
