Red Dots From Ankle To Shin, Armpits. Started Exercises Post Diverticulitis Operation. What Could It Be?
Hi, I have small red dots on from my ankles up to the shins. It s also developed within days around the armpit areas on both sides. Heat rash? Treated with Cortisone and Aloe Vera? I find it strange it s developed in these specific areas at the same time. I have just started exercising again (running and walking) after recovering from a diverticulitis operation.
