What Do Black Rashes On The Forearms Indicate?
I have a gentleman friend who is displaying black circular areas on his forearms which appear to be scab like in appearance. Sometimes there are none and sometimes both forearms are quite evident with multiple scabs. He does have CLL a chronic leukemia and receives infusions (not sure of medication) on a 6-8 wk schedule for this. Does he need to be concerned with these areas?
