Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Could Itchy, Raised Dots On Legs And Hands With Red Center Indicate?
Hi! The other day my leg started breaking out in dots that resembled polka dots but with a dark red center like someone pricked the middle of the polka dots spreading all over my legs and feet. They have only stayed on my legs but I have 2-3 spots on my hands. Over a night they have become really itchy and have raised along with the center becoming a lighter color. On occasions they get tingly. I just want it to go away and have no idea if they are possible bug bites or a much worse cause.
These spots could be related to an infection or an allergic reaction. For this reason, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and performing some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR).
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
