It is most likely insect bites
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for your query. I understand your concerns.
The purple, dry and itchy marks are most likely due to insect bites.
These marks will disappear in 3-4 days' time.
Apply soothing lotion, such as Lactocalamine lotion, on it, 3-4 times daily. Take anti-allergic tablets like Levocet 5mg twice daily for 3-4 days. It will heal soon.
Just in case, the lesions increase in size, add Tab Wysolone 10mg thrice daily for 2-3 days only.
Don't worry ! It is nothing serious.
Hope I have addressed your query to your satisfaction. If you have any further questions, I will be more than happy to help you.
