Some mini dots occurred at my back (shoulder) which later converted in black patches with severe itching. It all started 7 years back. Same mini dots spreading at my arm of both hand and chest which later converted into black patches. If I eat eggs or takes tea itching increased in affected area and mini red boils also comes at my chest and back. These mini red dots disappear after 3 to 4 dots. Skin in the affected area is very rough and itching all also continue till I take levocetirizine.

Hi! the symptoms ,which you are suffering from folliculitis. This is a very chronic problem ,which takes a longer time to resolve. Internal health like diabetes, hypercholestrolemia, atopy ,obesity, diet, stress etc can be associated with folliculitis. Check your weight, lipid profile, sugar levels etc to find out the association. Reduce diet having high glycemic index, oily foods which control flares or pop ups. Usually, nose (nostrils) is the reservoir of bacteria like staph ,so try to put mupirocin oint or sodium fusidate cream in the nostrils to avoid bacterial colonisation. Please check with your local dermatologist for better analysis.
