What Causes Circular Spots On The Body?

I have come down with oval and circle spots on my body -- excluding neck (exception behind the ears), face, head, and buttox -- that are compatable to Pityriasis Rosea (PR). the PR signs became appearant about a week after I tried few puffs of marjiauna. I m writing this as I m at my Doctor s office waiting to be seen by him. Do you know if anybody has reported to coming down with PR, who thinks it s manifested due to having smoked marijuana?

Hello,

Since you are in doctors chamber get it examined. In any case, the circular patches are required to be locally examined for diagnosis before treatment. It is not due to marijuana.

Till date, no one has reported such a problem after smoking marijuana. It appears to be fungal infection.

You can consult a dermatologist. Marijuana causes hallucination and further leads to addiction.

The doctor who treats addiction and especially marijuana may be consulted.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
