Whar is this weird red circle rash on my legs?!


Question: Whar is this weird red circle rash on my legs.?
For the past couple weeks I have had this small rash that consists of red circles ranging from about 1-2mm in diameter, and for the most part not raised (just spots) and nothing else. On a few areas they itch and are raised and itch. They're all on my ankles all the way up to my thighs, but mostly reside on my lower legs. It almost looks like busted capillaries, but I'm not sure what they are. Some spots itch really bad, while other sites don't. It doesn't seem like ringworm by the way. I plan to visit a dermatologist sometime next week, but in the meantime can you help.? Thanks
