Title: Would You Be Worried?


Mandy - February 7, 2006 11:30 PM (GMT)

I have spots on my chest and they're not freckles. They don't seem to be a rash either; they showed up about six months ago and have been spreading ever since. My skin isn't itchy or red or dry, it's just...spotted. And they're multiplying! There's some on my stomach now.
I can't go to the doctor until the insurance gets straightened out (and who knows when that will be :wall: ) so I get to spend the next several months worrying.

Are the spots red? Like pimples?

I hope it's nothing serious, but I'll be praying for you.

They're light brown, actually more pale than my freckles (I don't have freckles there though). Most of them are slightly raised, and have a different texture than the rest of my skin (softer, easier to scratch off the surface).

Could it be body acne?

No, they don't look like acne at all (at least no acne that I've ever seen!). They're like a cross between a freckle, a mole, and a blister :lol:

Do they hurt? Itch? Do you have any other unusual symptoms that you're concerned about?

I'm just guessing here and doing some searching. Could be some sort of fungal infection that may have spread, could be from using the same loofah for too long a period...yanno? :)

No itching or hurting, and the skin is not dry. Hmmm, hadn't thought about fungal infections---I'm not sure what those look like though.
