Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dark itchy spots on the torso. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like angiomas , seborrheic keratosis ,acne , allergic eczema , psoriasis and contact dermatitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep yourself in moist environment , do not apply cosmetic product on face , also avoid hard soaps . apply cold compresses on itchy bumps to reduce itchiness and inflammation and take over the counter antihistamine like benadryl . Also avoid direct sun exposure to your skin as it can worsen the condition . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically , take history and go for allergy test . Doctor may prescribe anti allergic , anti inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwar
