Hi,

Since when have you noticed the lesions? Have they changed in shape, size or colour?

Nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesions.

You could try some demyelinising creams and see if it helps with your symptoms. Use a medicated sunscreen whenever you go out and avoid sun exposure as much as possible.

It would be best to consult your doctor about your symptoms if they do not resolve and get a proper clinical examination.

Let us know about what your doctor advises. Post us if you have any other doubts or queries.

Regards.
