skin condition?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Because of the coronavirus, I do not want to leave my house and go to a dermatologist so I will post here instead. I have randomly acquired random red spots on my arm. They do not itch or burn but they have just appeared. My left arm has a odd coloring near my vein and when I move it the area hurts. I also have a brown patch on the side of my torso which is kind of harder than the rest of my skin. This is accompanied by periods of "fever" yet my temperature is always normal and right now I am fine with only a cough. For some reason whenever these "fevers" occur, I always find myself throwing up in the morning and better during the night.

    Barely noticeable. Monitor for a week.

    The red spots are petechiae and can be caused by many different triggers. You need to monitor them. If you start to get a lot then you should see a doctor,

    The patch on your inner elbow and the brown patch on your torso sound like Acanthosis Nigricans. you may get more patches....under your arm is a possible place for the patches to start. There are several triggers for this condition as well.

    As soon as the virus problem starts to ease off I suggest a visit to your doctor who may wish to do some tests.
