What Causes Small Reddish Bumps On Legs And Buttocks?
I am a 17year old girl. I ve been camping at the Oregon coast for the past week and about two days ago I noticed small red itchy bumps on my ankles. Then it seemed to spread. I now have these bumps up my legs, especially behind my knees. I also have a rash on my butt. It was small to begin with but that has grown as well. I have put my feet in the ocean recently but not very often and not for very long. I also just recently bought some pants and I thought maybe it was an allergic reaction from them because these symptoms are only on my legs and butt.

Hi and welcome to HCM
Since you have only the dark scars on your skin you can use kojivit on the spots. It will take a month at least to see the effects.
Use the sunscreen daily anytime you go out during the day even on cloudy days. Even when you go out for few minutes do not neglect sunscreen.
Use a facewash with AHA such as Ahaglow or Glogeous once or twice daily. It might cause a little dryness
You can also look into other options for scar treatment such as a few sittings of chemical peels if it suits your skin, Microdermabrasion.etc.
But remember it takes a few months for scars to fade. Do not pick on them, and dont touch any new pimples that appear.
