Im taking zantac and pantoprazole. The bigger spots have been appearing for many years now and there all over my body. There very rerely ever itchy. The smaller tiny dots when they first appear are the tiniest bit itchy but only last for maybe half a day. And they tend to fade away after a little while. Mainly showing up on both my arms .
Brief Answer:
Acneform eruption and discoid eczema
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Sorry for the delayed response.
The smaller eruptions are looking like acneform eruptions.
I would recommend you to use benzoyl peroxide 5 percent gel on these twice daily.
This medicine is a prescription drug and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
The little larger ones are looking like patches of discoid eczema.
I would recommend you to use steroid cream like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily along with a good moisturising lotion on the entire body twice daily.
