What Do Red Spots On The Trunk And Legs Indicate?
Question: Hi and thanks for any help you can give me. I woke up this morning and see around 10 red spots on my trunk and legs (around 1/2" diameter) with a slight lighter color bump in center (not sure if they contain fluid?). They do not itch or cause any pain at all. I feel fine and am not sick. I have no medical problems. Do you have any idea what this could be? Could it be an allergic reaction to something I ate? Can I send you a picture?
Brief Answer:
Yes, you can send a picture!

I just sent a good picture of 2 spots on my thigh to your customer care email address. Please let me know when you receive the photos so that I know they went through. These spots look just like chigger bites, but I have no itching. The red spots are a bit raised in the middle with little "postules" that may contain something (fluid). Thank you so much for your help with this! :)
Brief Answer:
I have received and reviewed your image!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this image.
I have reviewed it fully. The points are suggestive of a possible allergic reaction. I will say do nothing for now and observe only. These spot should normally regress spontaneously. If this fails to show significant regression within a 3-5days, please keep me updated for review and more suggestions.
I wish you well.
