Can you please help?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your query you have symptoms of red spots on the torso and thighs which seems due to allergic reaction, side effect to certain medications and folliculitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep the site clean and dry , apply over the counter antibiotics ointment. Avoid pricking bumps. apply cold compresses. Wear loose pajama. Take over the counter antihistamine like Benadryl and protect it from sun ray exposure . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid ointment , antibiotics or immunosuppressants .
