What Causes Pigmentation Spots On Hands, Legs And Inner Thighs?

My family and I were in Riviera Maya and my daughter started to get dark pigmentation areas on her hands and legs, We have been home for 5 days and I now am getting purple dots or spots of pigmentation on my inner thigh. What could this be? We had a terrible infestation of bugs at our resort!

Hi..

Do not worry. The purple dots are the bug induced dermatitis. The dots will go away in few days.

You may apply mild steroid cream. If there is itching, antihistaminics like levocetirizine may be taken.

Ok..
