Hello. I am a commercial diver which means i basically dive every day. As of about a month ago i have noticed small red blotches on my skin. (Mainly on my hip area, chest and along the side of my upper torso). These blotches are not itchy nor are they sore in any degree. Iam not sure if they are a possible suit squeeze issue or a non diving issue (they almost resemble psorasis). They seem to come and go but do last awhile. I dive nitrox and dive the noaa table, never going over my time and slowly ascend. I took a couple picsjust wondering what are some peoples thoughts.

Can i upload pics right off my phone? Thanks
 
I would like the first to suggest that you please get this check out by a physician. You need to rule out the possibility of the skin bends. It is something that is worth not ignoring and please do not resume diving until you get checked out. I am not a doctor but common sense tells me that this needs to evaluated quickly by a medical doctor.
