I just went to a water park yesterday. Came home and took a shower looked down and had these little under the skin red dots. Figured had to be from being in the sun alll day so I believe it is caused by heat. Hope this somewhat helped :-)

I have the same things appearing on my legs and they take about 2 weeks to dissappear. I can't figure out what they are. They do not itch at all. Diane

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.

I have this too for long time, I almost can conclude that western medication has no cure to this problem. Try this, take liver supplement tablet that could help the liver function, you can get it from pharmacy, avoid food like prawn, lobster, pepper, alcohol, peanut and even coffee. For those live in Asia or near China town visit the traditional Chinese medication doctor for skin problem, try those medi for a couple of time. Good luck

Hello everyone
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

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.
