I had these type of spots for ages, 1 specalist told me it's the way that i was shaving, but after months of taking antibotics, loads of different creama, th spots were still there. So i had to have wet bandages on my legs that kept them moist (bandages were coated in a special cream) After wearing these for 3 months, my legs are completly spot free. I wouldrecommend these so you could ask your doctor/nurse practioner. Good luck

could it possibly be from shaving your legs? when shaving, make sure your legs are wet and you use lots of soap or whatever you use for shaving and make sure to use a new razor.... in the meantime, try blotting the red spots with rubbing alcohol 2 or 3 times a day and see if they go away...
