Suggest Treatment For Blotchy Skin And White Bumps Around Elbows

female, 18, 5 8, 146. Asthma, history of hashimotos disease in family. about two years ago at the beginning of summer I was tanning and large portions of my back and stomach simply wouldnt tan(most of it except the sides/around the edges), it looked very blotchy around the edges. it didnt change color, just didnt tan meanwhile some parts did, making it look really splotchy. i forget, but maybe a year ago i started getting whitish bumps around my elbows(size of a peppercorn) as well as lighter colored splotches(never bigger than a nickel) any idea what these skin issues are and if there is a quick fix? would vitamin d help? the bumps have reduced recently but they re still visible, just not as white or flakey. some seem more like scars at this point, but some still feel raised.

Hi,

As per your query, you have symptoms of blotchy skin and white bumps around elbows which could be due to virus infection lowered immunity of body, heat rash and could be due to autoimmune causes.

Need no to worry about it. Visit dermatologist once and get an oral examination done and go for culture by taking a sample with the help of swab to determine if bacteria, viruses, or fungi may be causing the bumps. Avoid pricking it. Use antiviral ointments such as rich in acyclovir. Cover skin while exposed to sunlight. Drink lots of water and fluids to rehydrate the body.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
