What Causes Bumps On Arms Along With Spots On Forehead, Hands And Lips?

My fiance has had itchy bumps, possibly poison ivy on his arms, and then developed an eye infection. Several days ago he started getting brown spots on his forehead, bridge of nose, crease of eye, lower lip, and now the palms of his hands. Each spot developed during the day and within 24 hours, became sore. What could this be?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

Noted your history about your fiance developing skin problems as you have mentioned. The possible causes are as follows:
- Hypothyroidism
- Allergic reaction of skin to something that has to be found out.
- Medicines if he is on any.
- Contact dermatitis.
I would advise you the following:
- Better to consult a Dermatologist as visual impression is one the most important part of skin diseases.
- Do not apply anything locally.
- He can take antihistamine for the itching and symptomatic relief.
- Proper prescription based medicines from a Dermatologist.
- Identify the factors, foods, beverages, skin contact and things that are instigating or enhancing the symptoms and avoid all these.
Further management as per the findings, reports and clinical benefits to be reviewed regularly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
