RED MARKS

[eggcup5]

Hi I have 2 red marks on my leg. One the size of a 1p and the other the size of half a 1p. It looks a bit like a love bite (made up of tiny red dots) does anyone know what they are and how I can get rid of them. thnx.

Dunno what they are but I've got one on each leg too.  My doctor has seen them and not commented so I figure they must just be cosmetic

Snap  - me too, had it on both legs above ankle, on the inside.  As the one on left faded so the on eon the right has grown.   Doctor says its just pigmentation and not a problem, Bio Oil is supposed to help [certainly stops the itching & dry skin].  Apparently laser treatment will shift it, but I don't know if that's permanent..

Where are the marks?  Are they at a place where your legs may rub together, like top of the thighs?  Could be a sort of sweat mark (know that sounds horrible, don't know what else to call it!)  Are they raised or flat to the skin surface - if it's slightly raised in a round shape it could be ring worm (sounds awful but nothing to do with worms) you may need antibiotic cream to get rid.  hope that helps  x

Does sound like ring worm, try cannestan Sp?? or another anti biotic cream.
