Why There Is Some Wired Marks Appears On My Body?

Hi, I m 12 years old, and getting a few weird marks on my body. The first one, noticeable a month ago between my wrist and elbow, resembled a burn, but the skin did not peel. It just turned red yesterday (1/4/2014) and there are small purple dots running up my arm that aren t noticeable unless compared to my left (healthy) arm. The second and third marks appeared at random - the first one, just above my left kneecap, resembles the first stage of the mark on my right arm. The second one, just below my left hip, seems to be returning to normal skin color. Today (1/5/2014) the red on the mark on my elbow seems to be fading, but I can t be sure. I m going to a doctor tomorrow or the day after, but am wanting to know exactly what to tell the doctor, and of course what these marks are.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

You should tell to your doctor:
- when did the marks show up
- are they itchy or burning
- do you have animals at home
- have you any family member that is having skin problems

Your doctor will visually evaluate your skin marks, and might take some scrapping samples to send to the laboratory for further examination to exclude fungal infection.

Hope it helped! You can send a photo of your skin problems to me for specific advice!
