Hello, red spots on the body may be triggered by various factors, including eczema, contact dermatitis, allergic reactions, urticaria, mite infestation, or inadequate local hygiene. A dermatological examination at a hospital is recommended. If an allergy is confirmed as the underlying cause, hospitalization and adherence to the physician’s instructions for antiallergic medication are advised. In cases accompanied by pruritus (itching), calamine lotion may also be prescribed per medical guidance to relieve itching. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
