Graves -Derma skin condition

[KimKarenCat]

I have terrible masses on my legs. It first they said odeama but recent consultant said its a rare Graves condition. She said it will never go away. Started as individual lumps but on one leg they have all joined together. Orange peel. ANYONE ELSE suffering this? Any advice?

I assume you have pretibial myxoedema? (Though it has other names. And sometimes with, sometimes without the "o".)

For many skin conditions, I often post a link to Dermnet NZ. They have some information about a lot of skin issues. There is usually sufficient detail there to have a good chance of identification. And then enough to look further.

Yes it is that one. I'm dyslexic and can not memorise all the issues I have in addition to graves let alone all the additional medical terms. Seems impossible. I'll take a look Thank you.
