Hi,

As per your query, you have symptoms of rashes and dark spots on arm and face which occurs due to clogged skin pores, hormonal changes, viral infection and could be due to dehydration.

Need not to worry. You should start with Accutane as it contains isotretinoin and is used to treat severe rashes. Exfoliate your skin once a week to remove the dead skin from your face. Drink plenty of water. Apply betnovate on acne. If the condition doesn't start getting better in a week then consult a dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. The doctor may prescribe an oral antibiotic course clindamycin. Apply mashed potatoes on skin. Take diet rich in fruits, green leafy vegetables and salad.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
