Question: I have tiny red dots on both legs, feet, buttocks, and my scrotum.
They are not itchy or sore but i do have sore knee joints and i do feel slight nausea.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

hi there. i did think i had faced a similar question earlier today & answered it. Perhaps a different patient..my opinion remains the same. rash description fits into a petechiael or purpuric rash. Most likely cause could be either a viral or rickettsial infection & /or a hypersensitivity reaction like henoch schonleiin purpura or a 'serum sickness' type of reaction to some ingested/airborne allergen. I would recommend a few basic investigations to help pinpoint the cause & establish diagnoses (CBC, Bleeding parameters eg Bt/CT/PTT) that can be done at any major hospital near you & either a dermatologist or XXXXXXX medicine visit would be in order. Cheers & Good Luck!
