Question 1

i have these red brown spots all over my body. i have had them over 5 years. i honk it's henoch-schnlein. can you die from this?

Accepted Answer

Dermatologist: A dermatologist is best qualified to evaluate the eruption. I'm not aware of henoch-schonlein purpura, which is a vasculitis ,lasting that long or causing a generalized eruption. In my experience it involves the lower legs and intestinal tract. I would start the evaluation by seeing the dermatologist.

Question 2

red brown spots on feet but no itching and pain .it seems very bad . ?

Accepted Answer

Spots on Feet: Reddish-brown spots on the skin can be due to a variety of conditions ranging from bruising and bleeding under the skin, to skin cancer and diseases such as psoriasis or eczema. According to the american academy of family physicians, oftentimes reddish-brown spots are harmless changes that occur with age. They also can indicate more serious medical conditions that a dermatologist should inspect.

Question 3

ive seen 2 doctors along with a dermatologist. ive had labs done etc. still have dark red brown spots breaking out all over body going on 30 days?

Accepted Answer

Skin biopsy: Ask your Dermatologist if he would think a skin biopsy would be helpful. Is a simple procedure with local anesthetic (like at the Dentist ). Takes a little 3-4 mm of your skin with a sterile instrument and sometimes needs to put 1 stitch, sometimes not necessary, but gives a great amount of information.

Question 4

hi i am 21 and i have about 17-20 small red/brown spots on my right leg. i am currently on the pill as well as take pain killers/asprin often. ?

Accepted Answer

Dermatology: get checked by a skin specialist to rule out an allergic reaction or infection.

Question 5

i have brown spots on my legs from the poor decision of waxing. ive had them from last winter. is there somthing i cold put on them to help them heal?

Accepted Answer

Go see a doctor: There is no simple solution to your problem. it will require a physical examine your skin to give you more reliable advice. it is best to see a dermatologist and seek his/her advice. One consultation will give you more peace of mind than any other wild proposals for local applications which can cause more harm than any good.

Question 6

i have eczema for years,  i am under treatment with hydro cortison and moituring crem but now my forhead is covered with brown spots,  what shall i do?

Accepted Answer

DERMATITIS: See a dermatologist for better evaluation  and treatment. You may need cream to lighten or exfoliate the skin.

Question 7

i had big brown spots on my back.  the derm. froze them off, now they are pink.  she said they burn because of nerve endings.  is there any treatment ?

Accepted Answer

Will get better: For such pain I will prescribe a compounded formula which can be made into a cream or gel by the pharmacist and contains gabapentin, marcaine, and just a touch of dexamethasone.  I call it the Fireball Quencher! ....Just kidding....it doesn't have a name...but I'm sure your dermatologist must have some ideas as well. We use little cocktails of meds like that when treating neuropathic pains..works.

Question 8

acne treatments. mainly acne scar help on forehead, chin, nose! have brown spots on face like beauty marks but really oil build-up. suggested products?

Accepted Answer

Multiple Ways: There are multiple options with Accutane often considered the best. However hormonal treatment as well as antiinflammatories, antibiotics, oral contraceptives, may all be beneficial in addition to topical treatment and skin care.

Question 9

Many possibilities: There are many things that may cause a discoloration of the skin. Several types of inflammatory conditions of the skin, allergic reactions, and sometimes bacterial, viral or fungal infections and cancer can cause a discoloration of the skin. Insect bites can also be the cause of a rash or a discoloration of the skin.  Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.

Question 10
