What Causes White And Raised Blotches On Legs?
Hi there! Yesterday morning (Monday), I woke up with about 10 bites on my body-hips, lower back, back of the knee, back of the arms, wrist, etc. They are all about the size of a dime (some a little smaller) and pretty red. They are splotchy in shape and have a raised tiny hard center-which makes me think they are spider bites. My husband also woke up with one of these bites which looks identical to mine. We had been camping/rafting over the weekend, so I thought it must have been something from our trip. However, this morning (Tuesday), when I woke up, I have TONS of small white splotches that are slightly raised with tiny white centers all over my legs. Any idea what this can be?

Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of white and raised blotches on legs which are due to allergic reaction or body's response to external stimuli which can be a allergen which could be anything.
I would suggest you to try to figure out what exactly causing red blotches in your case and give cold compresses to affected area to get rid of itching. Apply calamine lotion and take Benadryl twice daily. You should consult dermatologist once for proper diagnosis doctor will take history and prescribe steroid medicines.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
