Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi!! I have gone through your history and according to me you are having fixed drug eruption. It is type of drug rash which has the tendency to recur at same places each time the causative drug is taken. It is most commonly seen with metronidazole or secnidazole group but any drug can cause it. So try to figure out intake of drugs prior to the development of these red spots and avoid them in future. Meanwhile you can use steroid like mometasone cream on these spots to lighten them.
