What Causes Multiple Reddish Marks On Back Of Upper Leg?

I have recently noticed over the past several months that I have multiple reddish marks on the back of my upper leg and when you run your finger over them they seem to almost recess, as if the skin around them has more tensile tissue to them and these markings simply depress with no resistance.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of multiple reddish marks on back of upper leg which seems to be due to heat rashes and it could be allergic reaction.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you maintain the cleanliness of the area and keep it dry. You should apply topical antibacterial ointment mupirocin on it. Wear loose clothes. Avoid rubbing it again and again. Take the oral antibiotic course as well. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
