Question : For a while now ive had these spots on my skin particularly on my legs . I went to a dermatologist a long time ago but i forget what it was. Any thoughts? Is it a rash or something? I vaguely remember that sweating causes this and i do a lot of working out so maybe thats doing it. But just making sure its nothing to worry about.

Brief Answer:
Not suggestive of a specific disease condition!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

These spots look more like rash resulting from repeated irritation. Honestly, they do not represent any specific disease condition and do not constitute any danger to look at this point. Of help would be continuous monitoring such that we identify and evaluate any change to make sure it is not revealing an condition of further concern. At this time, there is nothing to be worried about.

I wish you well.
