Itchy bumps on skin

[timboyce]

Hi guys although I have been following your informative posts I now have my first post. Was diagnosed with cll in November 2014. Have been on wait and watch cause oncologist says wbc too low for treatment but after i insisted he has finally sent me for skin biopsy as my higher wbc was initially only detected because of itchy skin bumps which I have had since November. Trouble is we are testing for secondary cancer/skin lymphoma and these tests are so specific as there are many skin lymphomas all with their own detection tests. Any ideas out there? ? Desperate and itchy!!!!

Hi. I have been on W&W for 2+ years and suddenly got itchy lumps on back of hands

Doc gave me bacterial cream, but that did not work. I have self-diagnosed (with help of friend who is doc), eczema (I have never suffered from this before). The small bumps were itchy and occasionally flaked.

I got a cream from Chemist and all fine now. So it might be as simple as eczema.

I had itchy bumps on my elbows a couple weeks ago. My GP didn't know what they were. I had already started a steroid cream which cleared the problem quickly.

There is a rare skin condition in CLL called leukemia cutis... they should test for that first perhaps

I also have itchy bumps mostly on back, neck & face. Have them 4 years. Had them 3 years before being diagnosed with CLL by a dermatologist. I use Mometasone Furoate Cream which really helps with the itch. Not supposed to use on face but have been doing so for 2 years & after reading articles am now going to stop & hope I can find another solution. Its mainly the itch part I need it for. The good news I feel fine & have no health issues & barely know I have Cll. I am 81 years old & am very active. Hope this is helpful.
