What Do Oval Discolorations And Marks On The Forearms?
for a few years now, I have had faint oval (almost fingerprint shaped and sized) blotches/marks on my right forearm. recently, I noticed two other slightly smaller marks on the left arm same general area. i have psoraisis, but these marks do not mimic any of the symptons of this condition. Can you give me a clue.
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
