Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of red spots on the skin which seems to be due to drug withdrawal effects.

Need not to worry. Exfoliate your skin once a week to remove the dead skin and drink plenty of water. Apply betnovate on spots. If the condition doesn't start getting better in a week then consult a dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. The doctor may prescribe an oral antibiotic course clindamycin. Take diet rich in fruits, green leafy vegetables and salad.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
