I saw a private Haematologist this morning . He thinks that the skin lesions need to be present for me to be ill.He discounted, sore red eyes for seven months, mouth ulcers,muscle pain,joint pain, sores in nostrils,fatigue,nostrils, sweating profusely at times,cold sores. I have had all these for seven months. I had lesions on my arm for a while. What do you all think?

Hi Faith12,

Skin lesions are normally present, but not always. If they're not present, they normally appear a few days or weeks after the development of other symptoms. It's possible that your symptoms are related to another condition or an underlying condition. Have your doctors considered an underlying condition, e.g autoimmune?

Are you certain that your cold sores are cold sores? Sometimes, SS lesions can look a bit like cold sores.
