Weird Red Spots Started Growing Around the Abdomen
Skin Type: Face is Oily. Body is normal.
Age/Gender: 30F
Current Skincare Routine: Tried taking a bath with Nizoral. Didnt seem to work.
Main Concern: Weird Red Spots started Growing under the breasts then spreading to her neck back and hands but not the legs yet.
Lifestyle Factors: a work from home girly for around 8 years and these red spots started growing right after we all got a flu which was a month ago.
Budget: Doesnt matter much
Additional Info:
She has PCOS. These itchy red spots, however, started growing under her breasts then started spreading from there. It started reaching her back then hands. Her belly button is inflamed. Her cysts on the other hand have been there for many years already. Help on identifying and treatment would be really appreciated!
Ps: I'm not just going to rely on comments and believe that's the answer to everything. Of course, I'll trust the dermatologist more, but I want to understand what makes these different diagnoses and treatments possibly right or wrong when I inquire a derma, so I can feel more confident that what the derma is saying is most likely correct. After all, if I go to one I would want to make it count. It’s sad to see that I actually have to state this but I really want people to understand my side rather than making assumptions.
It feels wrong to me that some users or even doctors here are aggressive about seeing a doctor which is the correct thing to do ofc but as someone who has spent over 10k on a derma because of a wrong treatment plan, have some empathy din naman especially to a patient like me. It seems so ignorant to me to just go in a checkup blind rather than see the possible causes and it seems very Accusatory that I would just rely on some reddit comment way more than a doctor. Perhaps mali ang wording ko, but even so, dont assume things about me. I have already seen and experienced multiple aggressive and manipulative doctors who have made my visit feel like a pain in the ass, yet I still stayed with some of them because I truly believed in the knowledge that they have garnered for a decade.
The person in the photo has already been insecure about the bumps and really wants to know whats happening. Im sure im not the only one who wants to know more about whats happening to their body. Tho my post isnt strict about budget, i still want to know more about what the possible diagnosis could be so we can learn more about it then inquire the derma about it. It just seems so unfair that other posts are receiving actual answers while this one gets berated on instead.
That is the reason why im asking for second opinions before seeing my derma. Im sure those who are struggling to even pay for their treatment can also relate what im experiencing. Questions such as “What if the new derma i have been paying for is wrong just like the last one?” “What if the disease could have been what this other derma ik have been saying?” “What if the treatment doesnt work, what will i do now?” That is why i would want to ask the derma during the actual checkup on what they think about these theories and treatment plans and why they could be wrong so i can learn more about it. Im not someone who visits the derma often but if i were to visit one i would want to make it count.
Referrals or guesses on the diagnosis is appreciated. If ur just gunna say go see a doctor, then dont even comment at all. I already know that.
