small red blotches on skin

Posted by kerrywp @kerrywp, Jul 24 11:15am

Hi,
Has anyone had small red blotches randomly appear on your legs or arms?
Flat, not raised and doesn't itch. I think it is a side effect from prednisone but my rheumatologists say they have not seen that. I finally decided it was benign and I have just ignored it. But thought I would ask all of you.
Thanks!!

I hav developed white bumps — look sort of like tiny hives — on my face. I mentioned this to my dermatologist at my annual exam and she prescribed a strong acne (I’m 70!, and thought I was past that!) medicine. Have just used it two times so am awaiting results.
