This is normal for just about everyone and I get them all the time. These are just parts of your skin where it needs to be moisturized. Coat your legs in lotion and they'll be gone in a few days, sometimes overnight.
I have had the red dots on my legs many times before. They usually appear after long hot baths or showers, but they mainly show up from taking to much aspirin, tylenol, advil, whatever just too much of the acetaminophen in your body. Taking those over counter headache medications, sleepaids, even benadryl in excess will cause this tiny pin point red rash under the skin. So avoid taking the meds when possible.
the possibility for dots are
1. Diabetics
2. Gout (if it give pain)
3. Rupture of blood vessels (eg: blood pressure, over weight, if u take one weak rest and it is subsiding u will get confirmation on this)
thank you
hi I have red spots on my legs. they are on my thighs and ankles. they itch really bad. help, I don't know what to do. I put Benadryl on them. and they still itch.
take a aspirin everyday and the symptoms will go away... i also have had them... no doctors could figure it out including through blood work.. i just started experiemnted
I too have the small red dots that look like the blood vessels have ruptured. They are small but are visible. They are from right below my knee to my ankle. It seems to make my skin burn, naturally more at night when I am trying to rest; of course everything seems worse at night. I do have rheumatoid arthritis so when the autoimmune symptoms were mentioned in the previous post it makes me wonder if that might have something to do with it. I am 68 do the looks of my legs isn't that big of a deal but the constant burning is. Really don't know if anything can be done about it but wonder if a Benadryl cream might help. I was on methotrexate for a while but came off of it due to a bad sore in my nose that I couldn't get healed, now I'm on Plaquinal. I don't get as good of results but it isn't near as damaging to the body in other areas. Thanks for the posts, I will be checking with my rheumatologist.
