Itchy all over, esp. where blisters have appeared. The blisters are small. This condition has been going on for about a year although the biopsy was done only in Feb. 2019. After viewing photos on the Mayo Clinic website, my symptoms seem mild. Symptoms seem worse below the waist. I am a healthy, vigorous 84 year-old. Have no other maladies. I am taking Doxycycline (antibiotic) 2 tabs, and niacinamide (a B vitamin) 3 tabs per day. It's apparently a std. treatment.
