Hello,
I can understand your concern for small red spots on thighs and spreading all over body.
After interpreting your query I can make a possibility of “vasculitis". Vasculitis is a dermatological entity where there are typically blanching red spots are seen.
It can be because of multiple causes and even some times we are not able to find out the exact cause of the problem. Most of the times it is a series of multiple medication which are been used for the treatment of the problem.
In all your type of cases I prefer to do a series of investigations which helps us out in reaching to the closest possible diagnosis.
Generally for your kind of episodes I prefer to give oral steroids and then taper it off and then give a maintenance therapy with different immunomodulator drugs. I suggest you to meet your family physician and get earliest best treatment.
All the best
