Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Burning White Lines Around Arms, On Face And Legs?
My mother is 77 years old and for almost 15 years has white thin lines that form under the skin that look like scars. They burn and get much worse in the sun and heat. The lines look jagged and some cross over others. They are primarily on the front and back of her arms and occasionally on her face and legs. The skin is not broken. One dermatologist started burning them off and another said it was yeast. Any ideas? She has been tested for Lupus and it was negative. When they get worse she becomes very tired.
HI I really appreciate your concern, if this does not give any symptoms then no need to treat this but to wait for some time some time it may comes around on its own, and if this does not then it may need biopsy, hope this information helps, take care have a nice day.
