• Red spot on legs

I woke up in the morning and found couple of red spots on my left leg. It hurt only a bit, and then later in the day didn't hurt at all. Same spots in my right leg but much smaller.

Red spots on your legs that hurt briefly but then stopped could be due to insect bites, minor skin irritation, or a mild allergic reaction.

Possible Causes:
Insect bites – Mosquitoes, bedbugs, or fleas can leave red spots.
Mild allergic reaction – New detergent, soap, or fabric could trigger it.
Skin irritation – Friction from clothing or shaving.
Small blood vessel irritation (petechiae) – If spots don’t fade when pressed, see a doctor.
What to Do:
Wash the area gently with mild soap.
Apply a soothing lotion like aloe vera if irritated.
Monitor for changes – If spots spread, swell, or bruise, see a doctor.
If concerned, book a consultation at Irvine Skin for a proper evaluation.
