Oval Shaped Bumps On My Ribs. And The Skin Is Flaky And Scabby
Hi I noticed a weird oval shape on my ribs the other day, skin slighty raised and some scabbing on it, later got on near it farther down on my ribs, these same raised oval shaped circles are all over on both sides of my ribs, a few on my ankles and 2 on my right arm with 3 on my left arm they haven t been that itchy but a few have itched a little bit , it hasn t been a huge itching problem, these spots range in size from about a dime to a nickle I just wanna know what this is

Hi,
It seems you might have allergic dermatitis or fungal infection
You might have some allergy to cloths,you might wear new cloths.
You can apply triple action cream and anti histamines.
If there is no improvement,consult dermatologist.
ok and bye.
