There are a lot of small red spots on my legs, what's going on?

Legs are an important part of the human body and any problems with the legs should be taken seriously. For example, if a lot of small red spots grow on your legs, you must find out what is going on. The small red spots on the legs may be caused not only by allergies but also by some disease factors.

1. Folliculitis

Cause: Folliculitis is an inflammation caused by Staphylococcus aureus infecting the hair follicles. People with poor immunity and those who don't like to take a bath are prone to infection, which can lead to chronic or acute inflammation of the hair follicles, with small red spots and itching.

Improvement methods:

1. The prevention and treatment of folliculitis mainly focuses on paying attention to skin cleanliness and preventing trauma.

2. Thigh folliculitis is mostly caused by friction between pants and leg hair follicles. Do not wear pants that are too tight or too hard.

3. Pay attention to eating less alcohol and sour, spicy and other irritating foods. People with recurrent attacks should eat less greasy food, eat more vegetables and fruits, and increase vitamins.

4. The principles of local treatment are sterilization, anti-inflammation and drying. Mild patients can use external anti-inflammatory drugs, sulfur solution, etc., while more serious patients can take oral medications.

2. Allergic reactions

Cause: Slight changes in the external environment may cause skin allergies. Allergens include: skin care products, dandruff, dust, chemical fiber products, pollen, etc.

Improvement methods:

1. Find the allergen as soon as possible to avoid recurrence.

2. Pay attention to nutritional balance and eat more fish, soy products, fresh vegetables and fruits to improve your resistance.

3. Use your hands to massage your skin to speed up blood circulation. If you want quick relief, you can also apply an ice pack to the affected area.

4. Avoid mental stress, anxiety, irritability, excessive fatigue, staying up late, and lack of rest.

3. Leg eczema

Cause: Due to the high temperature and humidity in the environment, excessive sweating is not easy to evaporate, and the sweat soaks the stratum corneum of the epidermis, causing the sweat gland duct opening to narrow or become blocked, causing eczema.

Improvement methods:

1. Don’t scratch with your hands. You can apply some anti-itching cream or take Chinese medicine treatment.

2. Pay attention to adjusting your diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and avoid eating items that are prone to allergies, such as alcohol and seafood and shellfish.

3. Ice compress can relieve the itching and redness of the skin caused by eczema, and play an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic role.

4. Patients with dermatitis can take a bath in warm water, but should avoid overly hot or overly cold water. Taking a bath with warm water is not the same as applying hot compress, and the time should not be too long.

5. Try to reduce adverse external stimuli, such as scratching, external soap, hot water washing, etc.
