All of a sudden I have dark spots popping up on my forearm. Don't know what it is. Started out as two now multiplied to nine. Largest is a dime size. Any ideas? Here is a picture.

I really don't know what it can be but if I were you I'd get to see your doctor soon keep us posted ok

I would suggest that both of you see a skin dr. I have psoriasis and it looks kind of like that. does it itch. Mine is a rare form. i'm not saying that what you both have is psoriasis. i'm not a doctor. you should ask your doctors and maybe you'll have some peace finding out what it is. hopefully its nothing to worry about. Thinking of you both

I agree with Hidden . Additionally, it could be anything really, and the fact that it is spreading/increasing definitely warrants a visit to a medical professional.

thanks travis now I feel better and hope they find out whats wrong. jo

Thanks to all. I just came back from doctor and then this happens. I think I will wait until my next appt on July 22. I will have results of pet scan and blood work then. It has stopped spreading for now. I just don't want to sound like a hypochondriac! Doctor still doesn't know why I have headaches and dizziness either. Thanks again. Keep up the good fight!

I know this is an old post, but on the off chance you see it now, did you ever figure out what your spots were? I have a friend who's daughter has the same spots on her legs, they showed up after a vacation to the east coast. Thanks!
