Do these symptoms look like Dm.... fed up

[Lisalou19]

Started with small blisters on side of my finger which spread to the sides of my arms.

Burning skin just under my eyes and my arm is mutating. Very lumpy , small looking type blisters on backs of hands. I have 2 very dry patches of skin, one on back of hand one of my arm .

I’m getting frustrated because by the time I go to see specialist these symptoms are gone 😣😣😣. Rashes are more prominent and itchy during the evenings 🤷‍♀️

Hi Lisalou19, looking at the pics that you have posted, your blisters and lumpy skin symptoms could be a reaction to a medication or if exposed to the strong sun.

If these symptoms persists or get worse, you need to see a Doctor.

Hope you are getting better x

These symptoms come and go. Worse when my hormones spike. I get the burning face rash. Worse in the evenings and in the morning practically gone just like yesterday x

Hi lisalou19,

Looks like a possible allergy to a drug or reaction to the sun.

I avoid the sun cos of my medication, but have to use factor 50 even if I’m in the sun for a few mins.

If this continues see your doctor and take the photos with you, keep a diary of when it started etc. And weather conditions it may help.

Try moisturising the skin a lot. 😀

I have got two patches of skin on back of hands that are very sun sensitive.

I just find it odd because it’s gone in the mornings and then starts again in the evenings x

Does not look like DM symptoms to me, maybe an allergic reaction since it comes & goes.

If you look at the website for associations for dermatologists (such as British Assoc of Dermatologists etc) they have information about most skin conditions. pcds.org.uk/

I have full allergy screenings and bloods taken during flares to detect allergy. No allergic response from my body .

I believed for a long time it was an allergy . My skin changes during my hormone peaks. Then settles . Other symptoms increase with the changes of my skin
