What Causes Red Blotches, White Spots On Face And Anxiety?
My Daughter was about 23 when she got bit by a lyme disease tick. The typical red ring spread around the bite. She went to the doctor and he did whatever they do for that (shot?) and symptoms subsided. Here we are about 10 years later and now she has anxiety, breaks out in red blotches and doesn t know why. Benadryl helps a little but not totally. Now she s been getting diarrhea and constipation on and off (I thought could be IBS) and she is getting white pigmentation spots on her skin on her face. She has low energy, seems to get sick easily (weak immune system). Any ideas?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM team.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red blotches, white spots on face and anxiety which is most probable due to fungal infection. It could be due to excessive exposure to sunlight, excessive sweating and humid environment which leads to condition known as tinea versicolor. I would suggest you to protect your skin from sun exposure. Apply turmeric paste as it will give beneficial effects. Use anti fungal cream containing clotrimazol .Apply it twice a day . If symptoms persists for more then a week or get worse consult dermatologist ,so that doctor can evaluate properly to rule out other conditions and may prescribe you oral antifungal or topical steroids. Wash your face twice a day with mild soap.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
