Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what you are experiencing. These lesions sound so so nonspecific and I am convinced they are not pathological nor represents a specific disease. I will just advice that you monitor this over a few days and only seek medical attention if it doesn't get better.

Have you also changed your bathing soap? Also, try and drink much water as well as apply a body lotion that moisturizes the body to avoid it from desquamating or peeling off.

I hope you find this helpful and it addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
