Hello! I’m Attaching Some Images Of The Back Of My

Posted on Fri, 17 Apr 2020

Question: Hello! I’m attaching some images of the back of my upper arm, just above my elbow, with two spots circled. Can you take a look and let me know whether they look worrisome or are just sebborheic keratosis or age spots (they are both very light brown and very slightly raised).

I’m also attaching the final image of the top of my hand with a spot circled...it’s small and has been there about a week and a half or so. Any idea what it may be?

Thank you very much!!

Detailed Answer:
Hello ,

thanks for posting your concern here and trusting us.

I have gone through images posted by you.Let us discuss it one by one.

1.Two spots on upper arm are as seen in images are of seborrhoeic keratosis and there is no need to worry about it.

Sun exposure, itching , friction with clothes can sometimes irritate it and they can become red.

2.A small red nodular lesion over hand is probably papular urticaria.It can occur due to insect ,mosquito bite sometimes.It can resolve on its own and no treatment is required .

I hope this will help you.Free feel to ask in case of any concern.

Thanks.
