Persistent Red, Raised Spots On The Leg After An Outing. What Could These Be?

I went on holiday to Cuba last week and on the final day 4 / 5 red spots came up on my legs. I thought they were bites as we had dinner on the beach on the final night, but they have not left yet and are starting to get more raised and a darker colour. Just wanted to know if you thought this was anything to worry about? Thanks Rosie

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query,

You might have developed fungal infection.

I would like to know whether is it itchy ?

A photograph would have helped me better.

Please get a KOH mount done,

This can confirm the fungal etiology.

Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
