Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I would like to know some more details about the spots your husband has, to understand and advise better.

1. Are the spots progressively increasing in size or spreading ?
2. Do you see redness surrounding the spots ?
3. Are the lesions scaly or smooth surfaced ?
4. Did he take any medications for the spots he has ?

If possible please do attach an image showing the spots, so that I have a look and narrow the possibilities down to most possible diagnosis.

Waiting for your response,

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
