What Do Itchy Pink Spots On The Arms Indicate?
I ve just completed a 3 month round of prescription Lamisil for toenail infection. I ve been off for about 2 weeks now but am still apparently sensitive to sun exposure.I have developed raised pink spots on my arms that itch terribly. This happened when I first started taking the med. and forgot about the sun warning too. Eventually the spots lower and the formerly raised areas turn a permanent stark white. Have I permanently damaged my melanin producing cells? Will I forever be a polka dotted beast?

Hello,my name is dr,Dorina Gurabardhi.
I understand your concern.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Avoid contact.You can’t use or touch what triggers your allergy.
-A cool compress or shower can help calm a fiery rash. Gently pat dry and then moisturize.
-Add anti-itch cream. Over-the-counter hydrocortisone or calamine lotion may relieve itching.
-Don’t wear tight clothes. They can irritate your rash.
Hope my answer was helpful,if you have any other question I will be glad to answer,thanks!
