What Could Be The Reason For Getting Scabs On Thighs And Butt, Bruises On Legs In Winter?
For about the past six years, starting in November or December, as the weather gets colder in Florida, I get these small scabs on my thighs and butt. I also itch a lot, it is to the point that I will wake up in the morning and see the bruises on my legs. Or I notice an itch and then I realize I am covered in scabs. They appear out of no where and then just go away again in a couple months. What is this?
