What Causes Unexplained Burnt Marks On Feet?

i had several burn like marks on my feet and thought I was exposed to poison sumac. It took several weeks for them to go away. Since then it has been months and i am randomly getting single burn looking marks on various parts of my body. They feel like a burn and last for weeks but only one at a time and random. The areas have been 1 on my lower back, and 2 on my left arm. They are dark like a burn would be, about 1/4 inch wide and 1 in long.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi. It could be due to contact dermatitis to poison ivy or insect fluid (pederus group). To avoid it, use insect repellents. In case you get it, apply a mild potent steroid and moisturizer for couple of days and you would be ok. Hope it answers your queries
