Hi, Have large bruices on arms, goes and leaves brown spots, you are 78 years, have COPD, and osteoarthritis.
It appears to be utricaria due to some of the medicines , try to stop the drugs one by one and observe the formation of bruices, add up the left ond and stop other drug.
If it is for my patients, i advise the above shedule, and give levocitrizine to prevent allergy. Thank you.
