Oh my gosh! That’s wild! They did look like small pimples. Nothing about its presentation ever alarmed us.

From my understanding, the blood work won’t show much unless there is systemic involvement. Liver/kidney markers, red blood cell, white blood cell or lymphocyte changes. Or elevation of LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) which measures the amount of cell turnover in the body. But with just skin involvement, there are likely no changes. Which is good!

Yes usually fungal patches are white and scaly and itchy and flat. His were never like that but we really didn’t know what else it could be.

I will keep you posted on what we decide!

Yes the injections are the more conservative route, but I also want him to have the best chance of complete remission without relapse if possible.

I wish it was just a single lesion like yours, then treatment would likely be more straightforward.
