What Causes Red Spots On The Forearms, Face And Neck?
I am experiencing small red bumps on my skin. They started on my forearms, but over last two days have spread to my face, neck, mostly my hands, and a few spread out all over. They itch, but only slightly. I don t have any symptoms of having an illness. Is this an allergic reaction, or maybe a parasite? The only thing I can think of that has been different in my routine is that I found several sand sollars on the beach. Do they emit some sort of toxin?

Hi,
It might be an allergic reaction or an insect bite reaction.
As a first line management, you can take antihistamines like Pheniramine for symptomatic relief.
If lesion persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
