What Is The Cure For Brown, Reddish Dots On Legs?
I have just noticed my legs are covered in brown reddish dots. Not risen not itchy. They are like when you scratch to much and dots rise to the surface. The only thing that is different is that over the last week my legs have actually been a little sunburnt which is never normally the case.

Hi
You seem to have developed an eczematous skin disease leading to itching. Also you are developing pigmented scars over the legs.
First of all you need to keep the affected area nicely moisturized by using a good moisturizers over the areas twice a day.
Apply a mild steroid cream like cortisone over the affected areas twice a day .
Take some oral antihistamine like claritin tablet once a day for the itching.
Wear cotton clothes .
Avoid scratching the area .
Hope it helps
