Hi,

I'm not really terribly concerned about this, but I have been out in the sun for years so I'm constantly checking my skin for odd looking things, and in the last few months I noticed something on the top of my thighs.

There are little red specks sprinkled randomly over them - they look like chiggers or no-see-ums. They're bright red, and so tiny you really have to look hard to see them - they're not like freckles or anything. When I first noticed them I thought it WAS a chigger, so I went to flick it off and noticed it was my skin!

What are these?

I wear pants all year round, occasionally wearing capris, and I even wear shorts with my swimsuits, so I don't think it's from sun-damage? However, I have for years been out riding horses getting my face and arms in the sun, but I usually wore a hat and sunscreen.
