A member asked:
What could cause hot spots? (usually on wrists, stomach, or legs) to happen? (hot 2me, not to touch)
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hot spots: This is very unusual. If the hot spots are symmetrical then perhaps you are having some type of peripheral neuritis. If this continues it is best if you see your physician for an examination to determine the cause.

Unsure: These lesions would likely need to be examined and more history obtained to be able to provide you with useful input about the diagnosis or possible treatment.
