I can't provide pictures because I don't know how to. as far as the spots that's what they are, little red spots that are not itchy. these spots are showing up from, head to toe, all over, but none on my feet or hands. the only thing I have applied on them is Penaten. most of the time I just leave them alone.
Brief Answer:
Looks like a harmless self limiting skin condition
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
The kind of spots you have could be suggestive of pityriasis rosea. This is basically a benign skin condition in which red slightly scaly or itchy skin lesions appear over the body and persist for two to three months before resolving of their own .
You can apply a topical steroid cream like cortisone cream over the affected area twice daily along with a good skin moisturising lotion.
In case the lesions still persist after this time ,then either talk to a dermatologist on this forum along with the close up pictures or see a nearby doctor.
