For months I have been plagued with a
strange collection of rather like red /
pale pink bruises on my stomach area,
waist, etc.... If I scratch them they
bleed. They are not spots, and are flat,
but they are really ugly to look at.
I am overweight have been all my life but
I don't know what is causing this.
They appear, dissppear and re-appear on
other parts of my stomach / waist area.
Some are large, some are tiny, but I am
clueless as to what is causing them.
I take no medication, and have not changed
anything so don't think it is an allergy?

Sorry, but you need to give us a better
description. Do they look oval-shaped?
Hypo-pigmented? Hyper-pigmented?
Itching? Nausea?
I know that I have pityarsis rosea
(red-dark, glossy bumps on my trunk,
abdomen, upper arms, lower back and neck
following the skin lines accompanied with
a large herald patch). Does your
description sound like something that I
have? It will take 6-8 weeks (up to 12
weeks for total clearance!) for it to
completely go away. My skin will not be
normal-looking until late november and
much of december.
