According to the major symptom you described (red dots mainly on the thighs), you might be experiencing rub rush. You might want to try baby powder for several days. If this does not help, you might want to try an OTC antifungal medication. If the dots still exist afterwards, you might want to consult with a dermatovenerologist if the condition is caused by a sexually transmitted disease.
