Are they itchy? They could be discoid eczema or ringworm.

Insaneinthemembraneee · 11/10/2022 22:02

No not itchy
I really wish I hadn't google it 😬

Googling is never a good idea, so if it doesn’t clear speak to the GP or the pharmacist sooner rather than later. This will ease any anxiety.

They look like bruising to me,that's what my bruises look like. What did you come across while Googling that you are worried about?

Completely understand BTW I'm always googling!

Google is the absolute worst but we all do it!

I bet you it came up with purpura didn't it?

They do look like little bruises. Maybe you've banged yourself without actually realising? Are you anaemic?

I'm not a doctor but go see your GP if you're worried and they might want to do some bloods.

PinkButtercups · 12/10/2022 00:44

They all have little spots in them. Have you been bitten?

Samarie123 · 12/10/2022 08:06

My Aunt had that (and still has) and was diagnosed with skin TB, but they don't actually know still because at first they said ringworm then bowens disease they just keep fobbing her of. It came up after her second pfizer shot.

I have the same red patches. I have on my leg, arm (3) and on my back. My Primary Care Physician doesn't know. I've taken bloodtests and still she doesn't know and has basically given up. I too have googled and yes purpura came up yet so did the Lymphatic System. With the LS it match me most of all. The kicker is the real treatment are massages to get the blood flowing again. It's like a lymph node (from a bump into something on a different part of that limb or side of the body even) blocks the flow of the redblood cells and at that marker is where blood will come out of the red blood cell and cannot go back in because of the node. I know it crazy yet it beats all the other stuff that had me going down a rabbit hole of cancer and every other thing else.

Research the "lymphatic system" and then talk it over with a trained professional. I hope you see this. Good luck.

P.S. I see your post is in 2022. It's now 2024 and I bet a buck you still didn't get a solution from a doctor. Smh <3
