Update and advice please

Hi

The colour around the lesion has changed and is now an orange colour.

Does this look right to you and should I be concerned?

Thanks

If you squeezed it, could it be bruised?

Hi Papapickle

If this is the same one as the other day I would say that's getting better, it looks less inflamed and yes it will look like its bruising. You will likely be left with a dark core (blood) when its gone down further, and maybe some scarring, I completely leave mine alone and after many months the dark core has reduced to a tiny hard dot that I can pick out after a bath. If you don't leave it Just be mindful picking it could start it off all over again. In the meantime continue putting antiseptic on it until the inflammation goes down.

Rituximab infusions and oral daily Revlimid pulls keep my skin lesions. Eyes inflammation. And arthritis at bay. Cytoxan does too but add Mesnex to protect bladder. Plus you can't stay on cytoxan long term. Heating pads help relieve skin lesion pain. Don't squeeze. Just makes them angry and get bigger

Thanks.

Are these likely to be a regular recurrence?
