    Thanks guys. I will go to a doctor asap. Sorry for asking this noob question xD. Your replies makes me flatter. Feels like everyone cares for me lol xD

    Actually, I think that people are being unnecessarily critical here...but there is nothing wrong with asking a question and hoping to get pointed in the right direction. Of course strangers on the internet are not a great diagnostic tool, but collective wisdom can sometimes help you decide if something is important enough to take to a professional.

    A generalist/internist would be a good place to start, but at some point you may need to see an endocrinologist. It's a really classic sign that something is amiss with your metabolism.

    I don't see where anyone is being critical here at all, just honest that a doctor is needed and it's not appropriate for us to diagnose. I do see some humor, which some might find offensive, but nothing that is critical.

    You don't know that the spots have anything to do with the OP's metabolism, they could be something entirely different.

    I like what you say about collective wisdom, though.
