What Causes Leopard Like Patches On Skin All Over The Neck And Torso?

I have weird leopard-type splotches on my skin, not huge, like .5cm each, spread on the back of my neck, my torso, and the front of my neck. I ve used apple vinegar, and that takes them away temporarily, but I haven t found any complete cure. Is it maybe eczema, or something cocoa butter could fix?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of leopard like patches on skin all over the neck and torso. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like
- angiomas
- seborrheic keratosis
- acne
- allergic eczema
- psoriasis
- 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
