Has anyone had sweet's on their back. I have had it on my arms, but now I think it's coming on my back.

When I have an outbreak, the rash is on my torso. Starts on my stomach and spreads around my hips to my back. Seems to attack where I've had my surgeries.

Hi Liney,

My SS doesn't normally affect my back, but I occasionally have a few back lesions.

I had a bad break out several years ago on my arms. Now I have a break out on my back, it is driving me nuts. I have managed to get an appointment with the specialist next week.

It's not the one I usually see, but that's ok.

Bye for now, Sue

Hi Liney, yes I had it on my back in the early years (mid 90’s). After 28 years of this I’ve come to find that it can be anywhere. Fortunately I’ve not had a problem there in decades. Other places yes but not my back. I’ve tried to send a pic for you of what mine looked like but it seems I have to make a post of my own so you can see. Prednisone, kenalog injections, IVGG, and ultimately my favorite... SSKI controls it. Hope this helps.
