Question: pinkish/flesh colored spots on my side? About a year ago, I noticed a little group of pimple like bumps on the side of my stomach, I was helping my friend build a building beside his house. I also had to run wire under the house to put electricity to the building. like I was saying, when I noticed this I took a shower and washed the spot. The next few days they started to fade. I thought it was over. Then about a month later I was in the shower and there was now a many big blotches on the same side. They look almost like "nevi flammeus" but pink/tanish depending (it changes sometimes). And it just stayed on that side, then about 5 or 6 months later it started to spread around my side and around my chest (same side), and now a little over a year later its spreading to the other side a little on my stomach and to the other side. I havent went to the doctor because I dont have health insurance yet. I was just curious if anyone had any suggestions or think they know anything about what am talking about. Thanks in advance Mike

Answer: Since u do not have health insurance u should at least put benadryl or if it itches put on some cortizone cream (anti-itch) and when u shower use an antibacterial soap like Dial and if you do go to the doctor (which I think u should go no matter the reason this is ur life) one visit is not going to kill u just to get this corrected. You might be making it worse by not do anything, all the doctor is probably gonna do is look and prescribe u some cream or antibiotics. Good Luck!!!
