What Could Be The Recurring Red Bumps On Feet, Legs And Arms Which Is Spreading?
I have these small red bumps that come in patches and some spread out. Started on feet, then legs and now arms. Seems to be spreading and not going away. Start off red then they scar and turn purple getting very bad what should I do? My skin has always been clear so this is definitely scary
You seem to have developed an allergic skin disease. You should avoid applying any kind of skin irritants like dettol, spirit over it.
You might need to apply a topical steroid cream over the affected area twice a day for few days. Take some oral antihistamines along. See a nearby dermatologist if the condition tends to persist despite this therapy. You might need a course of oral steroids.
Hope it helps,
