Small Circular Indent On Thigh, Diagnosed Due To Weight Loss. Suggestion?

I have these small circular indents on my thigh, and they seem to be appearing everywhere, doctors say ots related to weight loss .. I lost some weight last year.. Is it because of that. No doctor has gave me a name for it though, and its really annoying because these small circular dents just keep appearing, even on my arms, neck and face. Please help. Thank you

Hi there ~

You probably have tinea which is a dermatological condition that can be easily treated with medication. I would like you to see a dermatologist for the same. If your weight loss is not more than 10% of your original body weight you should not be concerned and it has got nothing to do with the skin condition. I hope this helps.

Take care and have a lovely day!
