What Could Be The Small Black Moles On Trunk And Upper Leg?
Hello, I ve had a terrible cold for over a week now which has left me anosmic. Other symptoms are headache, disorientation (woolly head), sweats, lethargy and my neck is especially painful today.I had a rash on my right arm last week that looked like little red blood blisters under the skin but this has now gone.Prior to that I had a cluster of clear small blisters on my left inside wrist which have also gone but have left scars. I ve just checked my body and noticed loads of new small black moles the size if a pin head and these definitely are new - on my trunk and upper legs. I ve also been in contact with someone who lost their boyfriend to meningococcal Septacemia 5 weeks ago.I am still so poorly I just wondered whatyour opinion might be. Many thanks for your time, lizzie
