Posted on Fri, 10 Jun 2016

Question: Hi, im 21 years old, and in good shape, but for over a year now i get these red marks appear on my forhead, usually during my sleep but occasional appear within minuets, sometimes after stress, im not on any medication, it doesnt hurt or itch at all.
Also i can no longer go to the gym and do much heavy lifting as it seems my joints seem to really hurt and ache.

Does anyone have any idea if this could be related and what it could be?

Brief Answer:
Possible dermatographism or adrenaline rash

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.

I saw carefully your picture.
Seems like the marks on your forehead are most probably from adrenaline high levels. Those are typical, and have no treatment.
Another option also would be dermographism which is an exaggerated wealing tendency when the skin is stroked, touched or scratched. Thinking maybe that if it happens during your sleep, your pillow scratches the skin and creates the marks. This one is not problematic as well, and will go away by itself with the time. Otherwise there is no other medical problems that can give those marks.

About your joints, I would need some more information.
Have you noticed any redness, swelling, or pain in touching them? Is there any joint in particular? Are they symmetric? Do you have morning stiffness? Any lab you have done so far?

Let me know these info and I will be happy to help with accurate advise.

Looking forward to your follow-up question.

Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
