What Causes Rashes And Dark Spots All Over The Body?

Hello, this is my mothers case. She is 51 no medical history other than asthma. Also the case is my mom has a weird skin infection/rashes/dark spots. Something like that and shes went to many doctors all of them say something diferent parasites or bugs bites and she claims to have like a whole hair inside her skin an comes out in like a ball or sometimes straight long piece pull out and its on the areas of the bad skin. She also has bumbs on back and arm pit area also on the back of her neck and all of this looks like it drains her stamina and actually she has lost a lot of weight. And of course they also say she has fungus on her skin could be that but the pills don t hurt and creams also makes her sleep a lot. I hope this is enough details

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of rashes and dark spots all over the body. Well this seems to be due to body's reaction to the external stimuli as a allergic reaction. It is very important to find out what exactly causing or what factor is responsible for their occurrence , because treatment depends upon the causative factor. It could be due to underlying systemic reaction as well. Need not to worry. Apply ice packs to body for itchiness and redness. You should not touch or prick these rashes. So i would suggest you to consult allergy specialist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe other steroid cream, anti inflammatory drug or drugs that can suppress immune system. Doctor may perform skin test and challenge to find out the trigger factor. The only treatment for these rashes and dark spots is steroid therapy.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
