Brief Answer:
Photograph required

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Banging of head has no relation to your skin condition.
Honeycomb like appearance on skin is seen in telengiectasias, a minor disorder of blood vessels.
Can you please upload a photograph of the involved area.
This Will help me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you.

1 } I have only had it about 2 weeks on my legs, and 2 days on my arms
2] I have diabetes 2 and taking METFORMIN 2x500 milligrams twice a day. I also have parkinsons and for that I take ROPINEROL 14 x 100mg daily... STALEVO| 75mg 5 times a day...IMANTADINE 3X 100mg daily.
for depression I take 40mg CITALOPRAM once a day
3] don't understand this question
4] only on my upper arms and upper legs.

Is what you think I may have treatable/curable?
Is it related to my parkinsons or diabetes ?

Brief Answer:
Drug induced

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
It appears to be drug induced.
Anti depressants are commonly implicated.
It's important for you to continue all medication prescribed for diabetes, parkinsonism and depression.
These cannot be stopped.
Try aloevera lotion. It works well in such cases.
Apply it twice a day.
This should help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
