What Can Cause Small Itchy Purple And Red Spots On Different Parts Of Body?
Hello. I recently have seen small purple and red flat spots on my skin that appeared and disappeared, and reappeared in a different place two weeks later. Also, today I got out of my bed and saw about 30 red bumps on the back of my legs, between my legs, and on my foot. They are itchy and resemble mosquito bites. I looked at my bed, lifted the sheets, but no sign of any bugs. What can this be? Please help. Thank you.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Itchy bumps over body may be simple things to problematic one. Urticaria is a common condition that itches like you have told. May be different types of vasculitis that may be related to systemic disease. But good thing is that if many things are treatable now. So consult a dermatologist & get cured.
Good luck.
