I started with 2 spots yesterday on my right thigh, now how about 30 on both legs, upper arms and back. Some are very tender to touch

Brief Answer:
I suggest you get evaluated!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this image.

I have reviewed it and this is not immediately clear of what is happening. Also, the rapid progression of these lesions warrant a close evalaution. This could be related to an allergy or a drug reaction but not exactly evident without a comprehensive clinical evaluation and maybe testing. I will suggest you see your PCP for evaluation and treatment.

Keep me updated.
