Have Red Dots. Itchy And Scaly Patches. Is It An Allergy?
I am having a problem with my skin. For a few years now I have very itchy skin on my legs that itch so bad I bruise my legs. Next now I noticed that the elbow (right side) has been getting very painful when straightening out my arm or lifting anything heavy and that has been going on for 2 months. Lastly, about 2 weeks ago I started to get red little dots on my chest that itched and would bleed . Then over the next week spread to my stomach and sides. They finally stopped itching about a week ago and now I noticed where the red dots were are now where brown patchy scars are left and some of the patches are scaly. I dont know what to do I don t have insurance to go to my doctor
