What Do Multiple Red, Raised Spots On Legs And Torso Suggest?

I have multiple (a dozen or so) red spots on my legs (lower and upper) and even a few more on torso. They are small - no more than a quarter inch across at most. They have a raised center with a small amount of scaling/flaking. They do not itch. I first noticed a few of them perhaps two weeks ago and they have slowly increased in number. I am male, white, 49 years old. Moved from San Francisco to Seattle on Aug. 1st.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to eczema.
I suggest using a steroid cream for local applciation such as Betametasone cream.
I also recommend to use loose clothes which does not irritate more the skin.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
