What Causes Reddish Pimple Like Spots On Legs And Feet?

I have plenty of redish pimple like spots scattered along my legs down my feet. They doesnt look like rashes. Theyre a little bigger and itchy. I m not sure if they are mosquito bites or is it because of our shih tzu dog. My shih tzu is clean. But my friend just gave it to me like a month and a half ago. Is it possible that it is because o the dog or it s just a simple mosquito bite?

Hi

You seem to have developed pigmented purpuric dermatosis which is basically a vascular pigmentation disorder affecting the lower limbs.
Apply a topical steroid cream like cortisone cream over the affected areas twice daily .
