Are Red Dots On Legs The Allergic Reaction Of Certain Foods?

I have bright red dots , the size of pin heads, scattered on both legs, upward area of the legs. They do not itch and are not raised or painful....just there. Noticed them tonight as I was getting undressed. Some are very close to each other, others are2 to 4 inches apart.. Some are a little bigger than others. I had Sauerbraten and red cabbage for dinner tonight...could the vinegar or onions have caused this? I would appreciate any help. I doubt I have would have to see a doctor, because they don t bother me, but what do you think?

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red dots on legs, yes symptoms you mention in query can occur due to certain foods are pointing towards allergic reaction. Sometimes it use to cause allergy when interact with other. Need not to worry.

I would suggest you to consult doctor without any delay.Because such allergic reaction can have certain complications like anaphylactic shock ,which can be life threatening.Doctor will treat your symptoms and may prescribe some substitute or alternate dose. You should visit allergic specialist as well. Avoid touching or pricking rashes.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
