Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

  • My advise is that you should consult a doctor in person immediately.
  • There is no point in waiting, as the lesions have already spread to your arms and hands.
  • And it is good that you did not take self medication.
  • It does more harm than good.

Hope this helps.
