Don't worry: They will fade over months to a year.  There is no need to treat them.  If the skin is dry, you can use a moisturizer.

Pregnancy : Yes. If you are able to walk and get pregnant then you will be able to feel your baby. If it is a first pregnancy or the placenta is between the baby and the uterus then feeling the baby move may be delayed until week 22. Congratulations and enjoy your pregnancy.

Question 3

13 month babys face an leg has red spots, doctors said allergy but they don't get well?on leg seems watery spots ? swallen point poin ? what shoul i do?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: It is difficult to make a proper diagnosis since I am not there to see the condition. I recommend seeing a dermatologist so that they can make a proper diagnosis and give you something to get rid of the condition or relieve symptoms.

Question 4

i am very fair skin and tanned in sun for first time in years with baby lotion. i now have tiny red spots (not raised or bumps)on my upper and lower legs . i use risnia, exsira and trazadone medications. ?

Accepted Answer

Allergy: This is likely an allergic reaction from sun exposure.  Should disappear on its own.

Question 5

i  have lots of bruising on the front & out side of my leg. i do take 1 baby aspirin a day & inhaled steroids. what is causing this. sore in spots.

Accepted Answer

Purpura: Easy bruising can have many causes.  One of the more common causes is minor trauma--hands, forearms, legs--in people on blood thinners.  Something that accelerates bruising is the use of either topical or systemic steroids.  I think your Aspirin and inhaled steroids are causing/worsening the problem.  Do not stop them, but talk to your doctor for options.

Question 6

my 15 month old baby has red inflamed spots all over her legs and arms and a few spots on her belly and hips. no pain and no fever. none behind her ears and eyes look fine. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation: Take her to pediatrician to be evaluated to find the cause so be treated.

Question 7

i had a baby  6 months ago.about 1 1/2 2months ago i noticed some blue spots behind my knee undernieth where it creases.should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Varicose Veins: Those blue spots are likely varicosities (varicose veins) that remained after the pregnancy. A big uterus with a baby sometimes compresses on your vena cava and prevents blood from flowing up and out of your legs and so it leads to bulging vessels, unfortunately. Nothing to worry about unless these vessels harden, get red, or get painful.

Question 8

i have noticed that my 1 year old has small little bumps on her body. she is a melanated baby. only areas i see now that are very dry dark spots with dry scab like feel is around creases of wrists, ankle. eczema? should i try a cream?

Accepted Answer

: Best thing to do is visit your dermatologist for eval and appropriate treatment of your child. Sometimes a viral entity called molluscum can present like this. Without a pic, it's difficult to confirm that.

Question 9

my 6mo old niece has a pink round spot on each thigh in the same place. my sister is worried it's ring worm. it doesn't bother the baby any. thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Rash: pediatricians and FP's are really good at diagnosing these type of rashes. We see them all the time bring the baby in and get a diagnosis and treatment.

Question 10

i have blue spots in my legs?

Accepted Answer

Need more: Many things can cause this.  Perhaps a virtrual consult would be the best way to address  this.
