Hello,

Thanks for writing in.

I need some more details about your problem, like- for how long do you have them, where in the body are they present, do they come and go or are they persistent?

I need you to answer these questions for me to have a better insightof your problem.

Most of the times, these itchy red spots may be associated with diabetes.

You may use a soothing lotion like calamine 2-3 times daily over the affected area. This will give you good relief.

Awaiting your response

Thanks.

P.S.- You may consider attaching a pic of your rash using the "upload your reports" feature on the left hand side of the query page.
