Dark red patches on hands, under armpits, thighs. Due to less water consumption?
Patient: hi my skin have developed dark black-red patches only on my hands. mainly underarms and very little on theighs. its since almost 3 years. but now its visibility is increased. when i visited doc he said, : my consumption of water is very less so its happened and suggested me to apply moment oinment. i hardly go in sun can you suggest me about this ? Doctor: Hi,Thanks for writing to us.I can think of two probabilities in your caseAcanthosis nigricans where skin becomes thick velvety and pigmented.Erythrasma an infection where the area becomes red or brown in color.I would advise that you meet a qualified dermatologist so that proper diagnosis based treatment can be offered. A steroid cream like momate would not solve your problem.Take care
