Red itchy spots on body

2016-04-17 12:17:38
I have red coloured spots on my neck, shoulder, arms, under arms, chest and few on stomach. These spots are itchy and get worse in sunlight! These are spreading over whole body, the skin is rough and dry over and near these spots. Please advise what can be the problem.

Since your rash gets aggravated in sunlight, you may be suffering from photodermatitis. Kindly revert back with images of the affected area for better advice regarding medications.
