Sudden Appearance Of Red Blotches On Left Upper Arm. What Could Be The Cause?
I have had these red blotches on my left upper arm for over 2 years now. They appeared suddenly one day and I think I caught something in my gym. However, 8 years ago I had sort of the same thing, but the blotches were also on the sides of my torso, scattered. At that time, my doctor ran blood test and prescribed me a steroid cream and some pills. It took a while, but the blotches suddenly vanished. Do you have any idea what causes this? Could a fungus last 2 years?
