Thanks for your explanation. Darling mug shot!

@gardeningjunkie. Mayo called to let me know the rash is Grovers Disease. Nothing can be done but treat symptoms with wet wraps and steroid cream. They precribed Doxepin and Hydroxyzine only during flare ups, and stay on antihistamines 2x daily. The other biopsy shows basil cell carcinoma...she said they removed all of it with biopsy ...should be ok... I remarked that it looks black and red around the outer borders.
and its tender ..she (dr) said have a local physician look at it..but she doesn't think its infected..all discussed on the phone.
I also reminded her that the biopsies of the rashes had diminished quite a bit by the time she saw me. She said another biopsy of a fresh rash would be helpful, however they cant guarantee an opening for me...so this is my ongoing issue for 5 yrs...by the time they schedule me, it's too late for an accurate diagnosis. All said, even with a fading rash, they picked up Grovers. Nothing said about why I felt I'll and had chills. No mention of any connection with my mgus.
