Reddish Bumps On The Skin After Long Travel. Pain And Itching. Skin Allergy?
Hi. I have been experiencing some skin problems. While I was on a 13 hour travel, red bumps started to appear on my legs and feet. At first, it was just small red bumps but as hours pass by it became large red bumps that looks like it merged to each other. My ankles were covered and it was very painful and itchy. Can you please tell me if this is just a skin allergy because I was wearing tight pants that time and during the 13 hour travel, I was sitting the entire time.
