I have weird red spots on my skin?

So I'm just sitting here watching TV and my legs are kinda itchy as in it feels good to scratch them specifically on my right leg. So I take off my pants and I look and on the right side of my knee there is this big red spot maybe the size of a quarter. It has a tiny area that is raised but it is mostly red. Then I check the rest of my legs and on my right leg again I find another red spot though it doesn't look like the other one. This on is slightly bigger than the eraser end of a pencil and kinda in a "v" heart shape. This one is also kinda raised but it is only red in the raised spots. I don't know what it is. I have been wearing long cargo pants for about a week now so I don't think it is anything to do with the environment and am wondering if it is a spider bite or something. I can't find any bite marks on the smaller one (except maybe a slightly darker tiny spot on one end but on the other one I think I can see one or two tiny red specks on it. What do you think?

    Well I think the itching is probably dry skin (which mostly happens beteewn the months of October-March.) I hate to break it down to you but it sounds like chicken pox. If you keep on itching parts of your body, the chicken pox will not go away. If you have chicken pox for at least a half a week, contact your doctor and see what kind of medicine bests fits for you. Remember try to NOT itch your chicken pox. It will make the itching MUCH MUCH worse and the pain will go away in a extended period of time.

    Source(s): Do you feel like your sick or have a high fever? If so, it's most likely the chicken pox. If its not chicken pox, it could be a very bad rash. The pain could also affect your health.
