What type of Hospital department should the GP refer me to as my eyes throat and mouth ulcers are my main symptoms not lesions ? I was thinking Haematology.

Hi Faith,

Dermatology is fine, even though your main symptoms aren't skin lesions. Haematology is a good idea if you have a SS variant; there are concerns over potential underlying malignancy, e.g. myelodysplastic syndromes; symptoms are aggressive or persistent.
