Suggest Treatment For Small Red Bumps On The Arms And Stomach
About two weeks ago, I had about five red bumps that resemble mosquito bites on my arm and stomach. The bumps are not raised and do not itch, but they are making a discolored spot in the placed where the bumps originated. I do not have allergies as far as I know, but I am planning to make an appointment with my Dermatologist. What do you suspect the cause?

Hi!! According to me you have developed post inflammatory hyper pigmentation which is discolouration of the skin once the active lesion resolves. You should apply high SPF sunscreen at intervals of 3-4 hours during the day time and cream containing hydroquinone at night only on the dark coloured spots.
