What Causes Spots On The Legs?

I have spots all over my legs that look like bruises they began as small red marks almost like bug bites this morning but have evolved into full big bruise like spots. They are not hurtful to the touch like a bruise would be and it almost seems like a rash I m not sure what is wrong I was fine yesterday

Hello

I have gone through your complaints and it could be an eczematous rash or small vessel vasculitis. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily. If they don’t improve in 5 days consult a doctor and get it evaluated.

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