The results of the biopsies showed that I had either Dermatitis Herpetiformis or Linear immunoglobulin A bullous dermatosis. The dermatologist is leaning more towards the latter because I don't have a history of wheat intolerance. Will find out more first part of next month.
I went to the dermatologist this morning and he said it wasn't Pityriasis Rosea nor was it related to the Impetigo I had a month ago. He didn't know what it was except "a strange rash" (I could have told him that). He took a couple biopsies and will have the results by the end of the week.
I have an appointment to see a dermatologist but the soonest they could get me in is July 22...it's going to be a long month if it isn't gone by then.
See a dermatologist. A specialist is your best ally with your condition.
Hello,
Pityriasis rosea is a common human skin disease which presents as numerous patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and itching. Topical and oral steroids are needed. Water, sweat, and soap may cause irritation and should be avoided in the disease. Topical zinc oxide and calamine lotion are useful for pruritus.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
