Question 1

my mother 65, getting small wounded red lesions on skin.they go away when treated but reappear at some other place on the skin.what is to b done?

Accepted Answer

See below: It depends on what is causing these lesions and it is difficult to answer without knowing the cause.  It would be best to discuss with her treating physician.

Question 2

giant cell arteritis / vasculitis / artery inflammation - could this cause gum bleeding, mouth sores and lesions on tongue as well as lesions on skin?

Accepted Answer

See below: Not giant cell.   The gum bleeding can be related to other dental issues.  The other symptoms can be seen in lupus, sjogren's, and behcet's to name a few.  However there are diseases that mimic the symptoms of autoimmune diseases and thus you should see your doctor first for an evaluation.

Question 3

hi, ive seem to be getting lesions on my skin for 5 weeks now. my doctors say it is a fixed drug eruption, however my condition is getting worse.

Accepted Answer

Getting Worse: When one is getting worse then one communicates with their physician for 'Plan B"  or goes and gets a second opinion. It sounds like you may want to see a Dermatologist.

Question 4

i have an allergy all over my body and face. looks like an allergic reaction to something but i have been tested and it has come back clear. looks like lesions on the skin and on my face the lip swells and eyes sometimes. been taking , allecet, texa?

Accepted Answer

Contact dermatitis : Another cause may be contact dermatitis. Clean skin w a no fragrance moisturizing soap. Apply a steroid cream two to three times daily to the most inflamed areas.

Question 5

i am getting too many pre-cancer skin lesions on my body living in florida. i am healthy and wear spf 30 as a sunscreen. should i move out-of-state?

Accepted Answer

Sun damage: It is not FL it is the sun.

1. Wear long sleeve shirts
2. Stay out of sun.
3. All states can get too much sun for some.

If you have been a sun worshiper most of your life they will keep coming now even if out of sun.

Question 6

i have had several skin lesions on my abdomen, leg, and chest.  what are they?

Accepted Answer

Angiomas?: Red 2-3mm bumps are angiomas and they are common.  Brown, waxy stuck on spots are seborrheic keratosis.  You need to see a dermatologist in order to be evaluated properly.

Question 7

severe skin lesions after covid on legs. skin cracking and weeping. itchy, painfull?

Accepted Answer

Lesions: You indicated that onset of skin lesions occurred after a bout with COVID 19. This may not be due to COVID 19 if that is the case. Medical assessment would be able to better identify the reason for this skin problem as well as appropriate treatments.

Question 8

can precancerous skin lesions be scratched off?

Accepted Answer

Skin lesions: Any questionable skin lesions should be seen in person by a specialist. If a lesion has been diagnosed as 
pre-cancerous I would not recommend scraping it off.  Having an initial biopsy performed is essential.  A likely follow-up of the complete lesion with clean margins would then need to be performed. It's important to always protect your skin and avoiding prolonged direct sun exposure. Be safe!

Question 9

must precancerous skin lesions always be asymmetrical?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: precancerous skin lesions (actinic keratoses) come in all shapes and sizes

Question 10

red lesions have began appearing on my skin. i've not been out in the sun today and haven't eaten any foods i'm allergic to. took pirotin, not worked?

Accepted Answer

Difficult question: Without seeing it, it is impossible to determine the nature of the rash. Could be a drug eruption if you have begun a new medication, it this is acute. If slowly progressing, could be just angiomas. Many other possibilities.
