Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 Hi All - A friend just told me about this list, so I'm giving it a shot and hope you'll be able to help. My mother has " something " - the dermatologist and her doctors have not been able to diagnose it. She has small red bumps all over, especially her back, lower back, legs, arms, a bit on her feet, and shoulders. Sometimes they appear red, sometimes they don't. She also has some areas with a rash. Sometimes the bumps drain (if she scrathes), then forms a little scab. Some will bleed if she scratches too much. She has a lot of itching. The dermatologist even took a biopsy and he still doesn't know what it is. She's had it for six months; my final frustration came the other day when he suggested it might be scabies, because he didn't know what ele to say. Well, obviously, if that is what the problem is, we would all have it. Plus that's not at all what it looks like. Using Sea Breeze followed by the anti-itching lotion they give her helps. She's also taking methylprednisolone, (generic for Medrol) 4mg. Anyone have any thoughts? Anything specific on the FAQ you can suggest? Thanks. You can email me privately if you like.
