I have Tinea Nigra at the moment and I live in colder climate. Mine started after a visit to nail shop. It’s on my hands and feet. Really bad case of it😔

I have a brown lesion on my palm I live in Australia and go hiking on the weekends so I have no idea where I got it from 🤷 I’m going to the doctors to see what it is

[@JMGardnerMD]

There are a variety of things that can cause brown spot on the palm. Good idea to see your dermatologist so they can check it out and do a biopsy if needed. Best wishes.

please come look at my skin i have to know what is going on with getting hives everyday for the past 2 months.

[@kingznqueenztv]

Do they go away after a while? Small bumps with pus in them?

[@emperorscotty]

@@kingznqueenztv they go away everyday and come back but no pus, hives is not open sore so you wouldn't see pus

[@denisereyes1509]

​@@kingznqueenztv If these are symptoms someone is experiencing, what is it? Do you know?

I had that happen to me for a while. It ended up being bedbugs from a girl that moved in with me. I had these welts appearing randomly that itches and then wouldn't. They were also in rows of like 2 or 3 but a lot of the welts were just 1 by itself. It wasn't until I felt one crawl down my face and grabbed it. 🤢 I was also having terrible night sweats and felt like I had no energy so I slept and woke up sweating a lot. They would pop up a few days then go away for months. I hope you've found some answers considering this was a 2 year old post but just in case someone else is looking around for answers maybe it'll help.

Interestingly there have been some cases of Coronavirus-19 complicated with this kind of tinea...

[@JMGardnerMD]

I knew of invasive black molds associated with covid, but I hadn’t heard about cases of non invasive skin infection by black mold (aka tinea nigra) associated with covid. Do you have any article links?

[@Brandi.Nicole]

@@JMGardnerMD Now what do you think about the association? 🙄 lol! Media went wild didn’t they? “New deadly” 🙃 Also, I’d love to share my findings and documentation for your courses.

[@rlopez18m]

What does that mean exactly?
