Hi,
While there are conditions which would present with a rash along with some involvement of the lung, most of the conditions that produce a pneumothorax do not specifically have a characteristic rash. This other symptom may be an independent phenomenon.
Also - I broke out in a rash on my face/upper body 1 week ago... possibly related? I am generally over concerned about my health these days, but don't want to go to the hospital if i don't need to...
Hi,
A pneumothorax occurs because of a risk factor, which may be cysts in the lungs or a specific lung disease. The occurrence of one pneumothorax would not preclude the occurrence of another. Hence,if your symptoms are similar to the documented pneumothorax, an investigation would be in order. The severity would vary depending on the amount of gas that is abnormally accumulated.
In brief, when in doubt, best have yourself examined.
Stay positive.
