ChickenWrap Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 (edited) Ive got red spots ALL over my body, theyre fairly small, about 0.5cm in diameter. any idea what this could be? also, ive notived that the skin on my face seems to be peeling.. when i wash my face and wipe it with a towel or something, theres hundreds of little points where skin is peeling.. if i were to scratch it theyd come off.. any idea whats wrong with me?

Dazzla Veteran Posted November 27, 2003 Veteran Share Posted November 27, 2003 Zombie? Chickenpox, eczema, measles? Pass, best bet is not to take any risks and get to a doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniPi Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I'd go to the doctor before anything...no offense to all the Neowinians here, but its not the best idea to ask a internet forum for health advice. Go talk to an expert. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malechai Veteran Posted November 27, 2003 Veteran Share Posted November 27, 2003 ooo ooo i know what it is! but not at this moment :D i'll reply later when I get home (about an hour) and can give you the big weird name. advice: don't scratch. scratching could just make it spread. /edit .. actually, let me ask.. are they raised bumps or just flat red splotches of red skin? out of all of them, is there a single bigger one than all of the rest? /edit #2. ok I found what I was thinking of, but after reading your description again, I don't think this is it. http://www.aad.org/pamphlets/pityrias.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
