A friend of mine has been developing a sort of bruising under her armpits, breasts, legs and on the palms of her hands. It is not really a rash and the doctor s have ruled out lupis or fungal infection. Her skin in those areas have turned to a purpleish/brownish colour and it burns to the touch. Her hands are even swelling a bit. It started about a month ago and has been progressively been getting worse in the order I listed above. Any ideas?
Hello, thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. If I am your doctor I would like to see your friends lesion. In skin disease diagnosis is usually made by the visual inspection. But from your symptoms it appears more of lupus. Take the antibiotic cream for local application like tobramycin. Also use steroid like prednisolone tablet, and renovate cream for local application. But remember confirm diagnosis is necessary. If you have to ask anything else kindly contact me. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
