Clusters Of Red Spots On Calf, Feel Similar To Bumpy Heat Rash And Mosquitoes Bites On Inner Leg. Could This Be Inter Linked?

Hi, I have recently started to have clusters of red spots come out on my calfs. They look an feel similar to bumpy heat rash but also have whiteheads on them. I work in construction in Darwin where it can get very hot and I also attract Mosquitos like nobodies business - all mainly, bites appear on my legs. Could any of this be interlinked? I keep my skin well washed and clean outside of work

Hello,

The red spots on your leg may be due to insect bite.
If you have no history of allergy to insect bite it will subside on it own.
Apply moisture over the area to prevent dryness.

Use mosquito repellent creams to avoid mosquito bite.
