He always have had some sore of skin urticaria specially active when his body is fighting and infection. A couple of weeks ago i notice these spots on his lower belly. first they look like stretch marks they they turn like bruicis, now he notice when pressing they hurt. Is this related to wegners..rituxan second effects?? the rheumatology is asking for a

Hi Gabriella,

That's a really difficult question for anyone on here to answer as we aren't qualified to give very specific medical advice.

I hope that Roberts Rheumatologist can provide you with some answers.

Best wishes

Lynn
