Brief Answer:
Upload an image of these lesions for review!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank so much for this query.

Seeing these lesions is very much necessary in making the right calls. I will suggest that you upload an image for review. This way, I can provide a personalized and helpful response to you. Without reviewing an image, the response would certainly be generic and might not be helpful. I will not want to offer just any lousy response that might not apply to you.

To upload an image, simply click on the link to upload a file and follow the instructions. If this proves difficult, please send the image by mail to YYYY@YYYY and request that the image should be uploaded to your query.

I do promise to get back to you with more insights and helpful recommendations as soon as the requested information gets here.

Brief Answer:
They look as superficial infections of the skin!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for these images.

I have reviewed them fully. They are suggestive of an infection of the skin. I will recommend cleansing with an antiseptic such as Betadine (Iodine) thrice daily. Also, apply bacitracin ointment twice daily on the infected sites after cleansing. Let me know how this goes.

I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well and await your updates.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
