Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions. It seems
you are having insect bite or head lice but its difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination.
Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way.
Please also ask someone to check if you have got any head lice and nits.
You can mail pictures to YYYY@YYYY
with subject titled ' ATTN Dr Hardik Pitroda'.

Thanks
Dr Hardik Pitroda
