Suggest Treatment For Tender Spots On Legs And Thighs After Smoking Weed

I smoke weed and I've been getting large, tender spots on my legs and thighs. My doctor mentioned it being from the use of the weed. I've noticed they are more tender and also red while using this drug. When I'm not using, they are still tender, but not nearly as bad and they also don't have the redness to them.

First of all I would suggest stop smoking marijuana not just for the tender spots but also because it can harm your cognitive and psychological function on prolonged use
For the tenderness you can try over the counter pain killers like Acetaminophen. Some times warm compresses can help in decreasing the pain.
Thank you.
