This is what Joe has:
While multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurological disorder, it is not directly known to cause rashes. However, there is some evidence suggesting an association between MSA and bullous pemphigoid (BP), an autoimmune skin condition characterized by blistering.

Wow, that’s interesting. There are so many things that are yet to be uncovered about this disease, and in the end, autoimmune disease is a weird thing and could actually be involved in some way. Some places I’ve read they compared it to prion disease (CJD). For now, I’m just hoping and praying your husband gets relief from that awful rash.
