How Can Intermittent Red Spots And Bumps With Scabs On My Calves Be Treated?
Question: I get these red spots on my calves from time to time. They are raised, will sometimes sting just a little if I run my finger over them almost like a small ulcer. They last a week or so then go away. I attached a picture. Any idea what they are? I never remember scratching in a spot.
One more thing it feels like a bump with a scab on it.

Abrasion

Hello. Thank you.
I am Dr kakkar (Dermatologist and Venereologist). I have noted your concern and I have viewed the images
It is a abrasion. Seems like a self inflicted one. Perhaps you scratched the area inadvertently and that may have caused it.
