Look up Rosecea & see if that is close to what it looks like. It could be an allergy to one of your meds. Have you recently started taking a med and/or a supplement or even started eating different foods?

Your best bet given we are locked down is to check online, Try mayoclinic.org/diseases-con... to swe if that looks similar.

Sometimes it is due to side effect of these medicines. Don't touch these areas and spread antiallergic powder at these spots. They will go away. Try avoiding bathing soap for a day or two at these places. Never scratch them. Relax

PD is an autoimmune disease so our skin is affected. A dermatologist can prescribe cream to help with the flare ups.

Not what you're looking for?
