Hi,

As per your query you seems to have symptoms of dark red splotches in the legs and it could be due to furuncle.

Need not to worry. You should avoid touching or pricking bumps. You should wear loose clothes and avoid sharing them with anyone. You should apply betnovate ointment on them 2-3 times a day. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting. Start treatment after complete examination and proper prescription.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
