Hi Medgabi,
I’m sorry to hear about your husband’s diagnosis.
If you don’t mind me asking what part of the body had the 5 spots? Are there they itchy and are they non painful? Were they nodules? Any symptoms before or after diagnosis? Any fatigue?
Is that the only treatment offered?
I couldn’t find the FB page.
Thanks

Hi!

Thank you. He has 2 on his forearm and one on his elbow on the same arm. And then one on the back of each shoulder. The largest one is about 1/2 of an inch and the others are all much smaller and flat. And the largest one has regressed significantly the past 6 weeks without treatment. They are not itchy or painful. They were not nodules. He has had no symptoms. No fatigue. The largest one flared up in March which is why we went to the dermatologist and then discovered what it was. They have given us 3 different options - intralesional steroid injections, IV rituximab or watch and wait.
