I Don't Know What This Is But I'm Scared
Posted: 05-22-04 09:37am

Some months ago, a spot of the skin over my lower spine, just above my back, became brownish and not smooth (like an eczema). At first I thought it was just a bruise healing and I payed no attention. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that there were two spots now, one above the other and this week I noticed that I have the same spot on my foot, on the skin over my ankle. It's not iching, it's not disturbing but it's speading. What is it? Can you help me. I think of the worse senario.
Thank you

Aparently getting a tan is lighteningrods answer to everything. Dont do it, it will dry out your skin furthur. Im not sure but it kind of sounds like a form of tinea you can get on your skin. Its just a fungal thing.

(not the athletes foot thing)

try using an anti-fungal body wash. It sounds like what my sister had.
