Multiple skin issues

Posted by kell4042 @kell4042, Jun 12, 2023

I'm hoping to get feedback from anyone who has any idea what might be going on.
Several symptoms: breaking out in welt type rashes around eyes, lids, under eyes and cheeks. The welts are thin skin that easily rubs off, exposing raw skin then scabs. Seems like the welts are damp when peeled.
Secondly, why does my left index finger have a yellow-orange tint, so does area between pelvic and thighs?
Lastly, lower legs to ankles, swell nightly with a red spotty hot rash.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Skin Health Support Group.

A skin doc could biopsy. I recently learned that scleroderma can cause some of this. I just had an ANA blood test, which tests for autoimmunity. The ANA panel breaks it down to more specific antibodies and I had a positive one for scleroderma. Your rash could be from a number of different things. Hope you can get in to a dermatologist. Your PCP can also do the blood tests.
