Itchy grey patch on my back

[GTS Jeff]

I've got this 6x3cm patch of dry grey skin on my back. It's itchy as hell and bumpy too. It's been like this for over a month now. WTF?!??!??!

I'm not on any meds at all...

Exfoliate it off...if it comes back, go see a doctor.

HMmmmmm, what grit should I use? 2000?

[bspot]

I suggest wet sanding, or maybe just a claybar. Through a new layer of wax on there, and it will shine like new.

you might have shingles.. you better go have it checked out before is spreads and leaves a nasty scar, have yo been feeling sick lately?

or it could just be exzema(sp?)

:rofl: ya kinda like sanding it of, it's like little grits of sand in a body wash or soap. Ask your GF she can probably hook it up.

Sounds like dermatitis (eczema), but I'd still go to the doctor if I was you!


Atopic dermatitis -- Atopic dermatitis is a long-lasting condition that occurs most frequently in people with a family history of allergies such as dermatitis, hay fever and asthma. The affected skin in atopic dermatitis is itchy and may be scaly, thickened and cracked. The color of the skin may be red to brownish-gray and/or whitish. People with atopic dermatitis have drier than normal skin and may have small wrinkles around the eyes and sometimes elsewhere. Areas most commonly affected include the elbow bends, backs of the knees, face, ankles, wrists, neck and upper chest. Some people report intense, almost unbearable itching that is more intense at night. Treatment can include applying hydrocortisone lotion as well as topical medications that affect the immune system. In addition, wet dressings may be used if the skin has cracked open. If the itching is severe, an antihistamine may be recommended.
