Question 1

i've been noticing red spots on my legs.as the week gone on amount of spots increased.they're are non itchy and dry.there are few spots on my stomach?

Accepted Answer

Dermatitis: Sounds like you have some sort of dermatitis.  Play detective and ask yourself if you changed anything lately, ..Soaps, detergent, etc?  Get an examination, as skin dermatitis can really not be diagnosed over the computer and needs a visual examination and exam.  Best wishes.

Question 2

i got clusters of red spots 2 months ago after bad shave on leg. some feel raised/dry. fading v/slowly. blood clots norm when cut. petechaie?

Accepted Answer

2 mos is long time: Normal blood clotting doesn&#x27;t mean you can&#x27;t injure your skin and develop bruising. However, 2 months is a long time for something like that to heal. Skin infections can happen after shaving, but again, should not take 2 months to heal. A medical exam will help determine the cause and any needed treatment.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Please clarify: Using the words "red spots' is probably using the most ambiguous possible terms to ask for help. Can you be a bit more specific or give more of your story. What has happened recently? Where and when did these appear? What do they look like?

Question 7

what could these spreading red spots on legs and feet be?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: There are many types and causes of skin rashes that could cause itching.  Several types of inflammatory conditions of the skin, allergic reactions, and sometimes bacterial, viral or fungal infections can cause rashes on the skin. Insect bites can also be the cause of a rash on the skin.  Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
