Hi, the past couple of weeks I keep getting these small round red marks almost like a cigarette burn Then they scab over. It started with 1 on my hand 1 on my finger and 1 on my arm but now I've got a few on both arms and their also appearing on my legs. I'm to embarrassed to go to doctors, could you's shed any light on what these may be?.. Thanks
As per you query you have round red marks all over the body for past couple of months . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like allergic reaction , side effect of medicine , sensitivity to sunlight , bug bites , ring worm , lyme disease and psoriasis . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order allrgy test , skin patch test and blood test for igE . Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid ointment , antifungal ( fluconazole ) , anti allergic or anti bacterial . For now take benadryl twice a day .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
