Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions. It could be some insect bite or viral infection like Herpes zoster but its difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination.
Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way.
You can mail pictures to YYYY@YYYY
with subject titled ' ATTN Dr Hardik Pitroda'.
Also describe in brief the symptoms like pain, itching etc associated with the lesions.

Thanks
Dr Hardik Pitroda
