Detailed Answer:
HI,

I have reviewed the attached image. The skin looks good and offers no clue to suspect an underlying disease condition that should raise any concerns at this time. I will say you should stay calm and monitor only at this time so as to report any further changes.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Keep me posted!
