Sores On The Legs, Thighs And Hands Getting Worse During Rainy Season. Scars Formed. Any Suggestions?
Since I was very young, I have had sores always apppearing on my legs, thighs, arms and hands. It was always worse during the raining season. I am 17 now and I don't have the sores anymore but I have dark spots all over my skin which gives me so many personal issues. I never found out what they are and I don't know how to answer people when they ask, 'What happened to your skin?' But I am looking for answers now. Please, help me.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Scars and black marks are difficult to treat problems.
You can try steroid + hydroquinone based cream for few weeks.
If you dont find improvement then you can go for chemical peeling ,micodermabrasion,laser and similar clinic based effective procedures.
Consult a qualified dermatologist for proper treatment.
Hope this helps.
