Stressed out. Have seen 4 er docs and family doc. With no real answer

Posted by denise788 @denise788, Oct 27 4:13pm

Started with one bump on my leg in sept which now has turned into a full out rash. Feet are a mess (one doc says athletes foot) rash is on my lower legs the worst. Arms back chest. Feet are swollen and had one very large blister appear. Now skin is hard and peeling off in large chunks on one foot.
Two biopsies done. Inconclusive. Have a referral to dermatologist which could take several weeks.
Have been on a fungal oral med and creams.
The rash in my legs isn’t getting better.

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

Call the dermatologist’s office and request a cancellation
option and talk with their nurse or office manager.
Find out if they do telemedicine visits or have an opening with an associate or PA.

denise788, I'm so sorry you are battling this.

I agree with seniormed. You have to be assertive.

May I also recommend a rheumatologist to run tests for autoimmune diseases as they can cause skin issues. If the Dermatologist cannot give you a diagnosis, I would try a Rheumatologist and then if not answers, an Infectious Disease doctor. It's tiring I know going from doctor to doctor.

Praying for you. There is hope and I believe you will get a diagnosis and some help. Blessings....

No. It’s nothing like that.
