I have nickel sized red spots on the back of my leg and lower back, they are dark centered with red around it. what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: There are many potential answers for such spots. For example: Do they itch or burn? How long have they been present? Have you been recently bitten by insects? Any new drug or supplement introduced? If they bother you enough, you should consult your doctor to find out whether treatment is needed.
