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.

Hi!!
1. What did the patches of skin look like? Scaly white skin or pink or red skin? What colour are the flat patches? Did your husband think they were a kind of psoriasis skin type complaint then…… except none were itchy? and not painful? No symptoms? What was he thinking the patches of discoloured skin were when he made an appointment to see a Consultant Dermatologist? Has he any thoughts on causation?
2. Was it the dermatologist who gave 3 options? Or, a Consultant Haematologist?
3. Has he had a CT or a PET scan? Will they be taking bloods regularly?
4. Which option are you thinking of going with? I don’t understand option 1 of option 2? Please explain if you can
I had 1 isolated red nodule on my forehead. I had it excised. No other treatment. Bloods every 6 months. Watch and wait only.
Many thanks
