Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 31-year-old male who does not smoke or drink alcohol. Today, I noticed skin lesions on the side of my stomach. I initially believed it was a spot and scratched it, which caused it to bleed but not hurt. I then noticed it was not a spot. I do have lots of moles and skin tags on my body. I am obese, and my skin rubs together. I always wear a T-shirt and use sunscreen when I venture outside in the sun. IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and a vitamin B12 deficiency are two of my known medical issues. Please help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.
I am very sorry about your medical condition. Regarding your symptoms of skin crusts, I propose you have developed a benign hemangioma. Please do a skin biopsy test and revert with the results. Meanwhile, I suggest the following medications:
Tablet Acetaminophen 500 mg thrice daily after food.
Capsule Piroxicam 40 mg four times daily.
Tablet Metronidazole 400 mg thrice daily after food.
Capsule Co-Amoxiclav (Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid) 625 mg twice daily after food.
Tablet Ketoconazole 200 mg four times daily after food.
Tablet Acyclovir 800 mg four times daily after food.
Consult a specialist doctor, talk to them, and then take the medication. If your symptoms persist, please follow up.
I hope this will help you.
Thank you.
