Hi. I have been diagnosed with Myasthenis gravis about two years ago and take mestinon daily as well as cortisone every second day. About two weeks ago I started noticing small roundish red spots appearing randomly on my arms. After a short while they turn light brown and remain. They are flat bloodred and do not itch or pain. Can you please help Wessel
Hi, It seems that you developed cherry Angola...also known as De Morgan spots. It is benign condition. There is proliferation of capillaries in dermis. They remain there without any harm. It is associated with many diseases .like DM, hyperlipidemia, liver diseases, obesity,alcoholism.etc Long term steroids might provoke cherry Angola. It may be in normal person also and may develop pregnancy. If they are embarrassing, then only you go for treatment. Otherwise, you may live with them. Simple electrocautery under local anesthesia can be done to treat the condition. You consult dermatologist. Thanks.
