I’ve had a terrible rash on my arms and legs for over six months. That’s how I was diagnosed with MGUS. My dermatologist suspected a kidney ailment. Then my kidney doctor suspected cancer.

Hi @kaysel. Thank you for sharing your experience with how you were finally diagnosed with MGUS. I’m happy you found your way to Mayo Connect where you’re in good company with other members who have similar symptoms.

Do you still have the rash? Are you currently seeing a hematologist for evaluation?
