For a few months I have had small, itchy red spots appearing on my outer thighs up to my bum (TMI) that bleed when scratched. I just get it in this area normally but have noticed it on my stomach now too. It's normally worse after a hot shower (itchiness)

do you have animals at home or were animals ever in your home? They could be flea bites from cats or dogs and once I got flea bites from dropping my trousers on a changing room carpet.

No animals, as far as I know!

Scabies? They look a bit like scabies track marks where they burrow under the skin.

I would have said scabies too

Scabies affect the hands and creases like between fingers, as far as I know, not thighs.

Ingrowing hairs? been shaving?

See your pharmacist for a private chat.
