Fine red dots have appeared on my legs and back - what could be the cause of this?

Red dots on legs&up: It’s not likely that you panic when you have red dots on your legs on up. Red dots can be caused by allergies, insect bites, and certain skin conditions. The sources of bumps and rashes vary by age and health condition. Some causes: hives, eczema, keratosis pillaris, immune disorder, leukemia (CLL), diabetes, HIV, or AIDS, skin cancer. Don't freak out, have this checked out. See your doc-
