Red skin--get seen: When you have a red patch of skin that is flat, warm, tender, and sometimes a bit swollen, that might be erysipelas (a bacterial infection of the upper layers of the skin) or cellulitis (an infection of the deep layers of the skin). Sometimes the patch might grow in size. It is important to get these conditions seen and treated with antibiotics. Raising the area 3-4 times a day for 30 min helps

Had itchy rashes at 12, little red spots formed on my legs and it gets redder when I shower in warm water or get outside. I assume it's due to warm weather. It's been 10 years and the spots aren't itchy anymore but still there. Can a derm solve this?
