What Do Red Spots On Arms And Legs Indicate?
hi I d like to know if my blood is dirty or what may be the issue. For a while now I ve been seeing some red spots on my arms and legs. They don t scratch ,ache, tingle. They re just there. Also I ve realised that since these spots have appeared my skin is healing black. Let s say after a bug bites me and I scratch it the skin heals leaving behind a black mark. My blood sugar is 87 normally. I m 22 yes old an I m not sexually active I m a virgin.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red spots on arms and legs which can occur due to conditions like contact dermatitis, allergic reaction due to detergent, soap, metals such as jewelry, an animal bite, or an insect sting and lyme disease. It could be sudden response of body to allergan. Need not to worry. You should avoid touching or pricking these red spots and apply aloe vera gel on them. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antihistamine , corticosteroid ointment and may give adrenaline short . For now take benadryl twice a day , apply cold compresses and avoid any cosmetic product .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
