Marks On Arms And Legs Like Bruises, Used Betamethasone, Now Spreading. Concerned
Alright so, lately I ve been getting many of these weird marks on my skin. They look either like bruises or healed scabs. I first noticed them on my arms. The next day they appeared on my legs. I went to a doctor about it and I was prescribed Betamethasone Valerate to help get rid of it. It s been a good 2 weeks since then and all that s happened was the the marks kept increasing and there are twice as much on my legs and arms. Not to mention it also spread to my hands and feet , including a few on my face as well. I m concerned.

it will be better if you tell me that the marks you are getting are of which colour ,is there any scales ,do they bleed on rubbing.or do they itch sometimes?and till that time you can stop using betamethasone and can try some antihistaminics
