Suggest Treatment For Red Marks On Legs And Hands
Question: Hello Dr. Kanodia,
Hope you are doing well.
I have developed red marks on my legs and hands. There is no itching and pain on these marks. Please see attached pictures of the affected area.
This has been happening to me for the last 2 months, these marks appear every now and then and they eventually vanish on their own. At first I was thinking it is due to an insect bite but it is appearing very often.
Could you please review and advice accordingly.
