Hi, I have red dots under my skin that's somewhat numb in here palms of my hand and also under my feet. I currently have a flu and am taking DayQuil. I also am healing from a long episode of gout attack so I'm taking vimovo twice a day and 300mg of allopurinol daily.
These red dots also causes a slight itch.
Is this a side effect of my medication? Is it serious?
