Red spots

[cartwheels]

Hi all Still new to this DX 4 months ago after multiple skin rashes etc , treatment oral steroids and antihistamines which work ,so far 2 x 10 day course of 6 tablets a day . My question is it never completely clears me and after a week I start getting red spots that take ages to heal have enclosed a picture of two on my forehead.

Now is this vasculitis? I'm still not convinced I have vasculitis think my dermatologist had been lazy as I also have leukaemia which is in remission I'm tested every three months and all is fine on that front, these spots appear on my face ,chest and back plus legs .

All help advise appreciated

Dear cartwheels,

Can I answer, your question, by saying 'I'm Not Sure' and then Qualify this a 'bit'?

I get similar Patches, alongside Dry Skin, Lumps/ Bumps, Growths, Skin Tags and Warts..... to name but a Few 'Things'. My Condition is, Primarily anyway, ANCA Vasculitis. I say Primarily because I also have Brain, Heart, and Kidney Damage and had a Kidney Transplant- almost Ten Years ago (July 2013). Additionally I now have Diabetes and Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Clearly I am on a Lot of Drugs, mainly to Suppress my Immune System. Are my Skin 'Problems' Caused by my Condition- or the Drugs used to Treat it? Well, almost certainly, BOTH, which is where my 'Not Sure' answer comes from.

I think you need a Serious 'Chat', with your own Doctors/ Consultants cartwheels- who know YOU Best. They know Your 'History', Your Drug Regime, Your Diag/ Prog Nosis, and have access to ALL your Case Notes- None of which Any Of Us have.

So, I'm sorry, that I can't actually Answer Your Question, cartwheels but hopefully I have given you some 'Guidance', my friend. I know that we all send you our

Very Best Wishes
