    Red Bumps On Legs For Seemingly No Reason
    About three hours ago, I noticed that my legs were feeling a bit strange, but didn't really think much of it. Then, about an hour later, I noticed that the strange feeling had turned into a bit of pressure. I checked my legs to find red bumps all over them. The sized of the bumps range from very small to almost a centimeter in diameter. They don't itch, and they don't exactly hurt. There is just a great deal of pressure all around them. They are mainly located from knee to ankle, front to back, on both legs, but have begun to spread as far as the stomach. In addition, my left foot as swollen to the point that it is slightly painful to wear my shoe. Whether that is caused by the same thing or is merely coincidence is unknown, but this too has only happened within this night. I haven't been around any strange plants or any strange environments recently. I did move a week ago, but I lived in this same house last year without incident. I just didn't know if this is something that will pass, or if it's something that I should be worried about.

    1st. Did you ever have chicken poxx?

    2nd. Is there any new carpet. Or old carpet you might have been laying around.

    Or any other itchy surfaces such as grass..

    And also I had this problem too.. and I freaked out. But it turned out. It was an allergic reaction to a laundry detergent that was very cheap and didn't suit well to my skin.

    Im sure its nothing.. but I say.. give it a day... and see how it turns out.. better or worste.. and also..

    Get some itch cream and apply anit septic creams to it. Just to be safe..

    It can't be too serious.. but this is just my opinion..

    Let me know what you been revolved round... and ill try and help.

    No, I have never had chicken pox. Also, there is no especially new or old carpet, and honestly, I haven't been outside too much. I don't think we switched detergent, but then again, I have been moving, so I really don't know for sure. The spots don't itch (at least as of yet) there's just a lot of pressure around them. Thank you for your help. At least it's probably not serious. Whew... gulp.

    u said it yourself..

    "u have never had chicken pox"

    lol that's the only logical point I can come too..

    and u wouldn't know because it could have happened days ago..

    it takes a while to pop up..

    and if it is chicken poxx. It'll go away no worries..

    and no its not serious.. but as I said.. if it gets worste go to a doctor..

    tahts the best thing.. [=

    Not to really scare you,but the burning and swelling may signal a blood clot.I do not know your history but I have had a clot. The swelling of your foot could be a real concern.plus the spreading to your stomach. Err on the side of caution,go get it checked. Like,NOW.

    Hypo, if it is a blood clot it could be a death situation. The clot could go from legs to lungs in a matter of hours or minutes. Once in the lungs it can be deadly.
