Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of facial and leg spots with redness which seems to be due to folliculitis and it could be due to an allergic reaction and frictional heat generation from clothes.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you apply a topical antibacterial ointment. You should wear loose clothes and avoid sharing them with anyone. You should take a course of oral antibiotics. Maintain complete hygiene and keep the area little dry. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keep on persisting. Start treatment after complete examination and proper prescription. Apply betnovate ointment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
