What Causes Sores On Skin Over Different Parts Of The Body?

I have some sores on my skin over different parts of my body. I thought they could be from small pieces of glass getting under my skin and building Up in areas ( my cell phone and my tablet both have shattered screens). When in was shaving I noticed if some shaving cream got on one of the sores it seemed like it causes what ever is under my skin to come to the surface. If I don t rinse it away quickly and it contacts another area of my skin, it appears to go right back in to my system. Am I losing my mind?? LOL

Hi,

Dermatologic conditions are hard to discuss without seeing them. And sores could be infection, trauma, immune reaction, psychological, essentially everything and anything. But looking at them can distinguish what category is occurring. Skin wetting causes the skin to be more transparent and can look like something is showing up under it (when it is not). The glass could get on the hands, but other places would not generally be in contact with a cell phone.

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

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
