Hello,

The condition is typical of something called keratoacanthosis. You have to lose extra weight as weight gain and hormonal imbalances is a predisposing factor. A thyroid function test is also needed because hypothyroidism is a causative factor. Consult a dermatologist and he will direct you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Wishing you all the best.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
