What Causes Giraffe Like Spots On The Arms?
What causes giraffe like spots on arms, other than sun damage. My brother and I both have them, me on lower arms and he on upper arms. We are both diagnosed with OA, negative RA tests. I ve researched sun damage and these really don t look like that.

Kindly consult an expert skin specialist for the possible cause evaluation and further management.
