Since last week, my body has developed a number of red rashes and spots and they have been multiplying by the day. This morning, they’re up to my neck! I’m not sure what they are and have no idea what has caused the sudden development. The only thing I can think of are the body washes I’ve been using although I still can’t confirm. That, or I’m having some internal issues. I really don’t like consulting a doctor for this as the diagnosis is usually non-conclusive. But since I’m having a flu, I decided to ask about them and as expected, I didn’t get any fresh perspective into their development and I was just prescribed with Gentriderm, a topical skin medication.
