Question 1

hangover with hrs of vomitting.noticed blue spots all over my upper arms and chest like blackheads but blue in colour and hard to squeeze. help?

Accepted Answer

Broken Capillaries: You probably have a bunch of broken capillaries or bruises from all the vomiting.  That should clear up in a few days.

Question 2

my body area, chest oper areas some on my arms and bck looks scaly and patching also i got reddish and blue spots from my groin area..and on my side area that comes and goes..and it's from my rib cage to my belly button.. looks like bige half circle?

Accepted Answer

: This needs to be seen to be diagnosed. Pl see your MD

Question 3

i have 3 blue spots under my skin one on my arm on outer thigh and on buttock they are sore when pressed on been there for years what could they be ?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Acute or sudden blue painful spots can be due to bruising. They can come from systemic issues ( like liver, etc), hemaniomas  and other things both "bad and not so bad". I would get a further evaluation with more testing . I woul imagine that the fact they have been there for a long time suggests the probably represent nothing serious... Not i would still get them checked out.

Question 4

what does it mean if i have circles like spots on my arms?

Accepted Answer

Need more info.: It depends on how long you've had them, what color they are, if they're swollen, or itchy, and what other symptoms you may have.  Please give more details, but that will likely not help us much because with a verbal description is hard to get a true idea.  Your best bet is to see your doc or do a Prime Consult with a doc.

Question 5

i have a bunch of spots on my arms that itch and cant figure out what it is

Accepted Answer

Exam needed: These could be insect bites( like bed bugs), allergic reaction or other dermatological disorder. A physician or dermatologist would have to inspect these spots in order to make a diagnosis and advise you. In the meantime apply a cortisone type ointment that your pharmacist can advise until you're examined.

Question 6

i have several dry patches on my arms. they don't itch but new spots keep appearing. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Need to be seen: Without looking at the skin it would be impossible to diagnose the condition. You could try a lubricant/moisturizer on the skin for several days and if it doesnot help you need to have it examined.

Question 7

i have these dry patches or spots on my arms and i want to know if it is normal? how can i treat it? patches/spots are a white color. white dots in the middle of it. (small dots)

Accepted Answer

It : It would be helpful to know if they are itchy or painful? How long have they been present? You could be dealing with a dermatitis from certain lotions or detergents, and even eczema can present this way. There are also fungal infections that can cause patches/spots similar to what you described. The treatment for a fungus versus a dermatitis or eczema is different, therefore i would recommend a visit with your primary care provider in order to get a diagnosis so appropriate treatment can be started.
Good luck.

Question 8

skin on my arms have whiute spots?

Accepted Answer

Family practice : Could be tenia versacolor which is a skin fungus. A dermatologist could let you know for sure Lamisil (terbinafine) is used for treatment.

Question 9

what are these spots under arms full of puss?

Accepted Answer

Puss and Sores: These are abscesses.  Or they are infected sebaceous or hair follicle cysts.  Irregardless they need to be evaluated and treated.  Please get to your trusted health care professional for help.

Question 10

i have white spots on my arms. what are they?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the cause: There are many types and causes of skin rashes.  Several types of inflammatory conditions of the skin, allergic reactions, and sometimes bacterial, viral or fungal infections can cause rashes on the skin. Insect bites can also be the cause of a rash on the skin.  Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
