Hello, Looks like secondary cutaneous changes, manifesting like purpura, vasculitis, exfoliating erythroderma, etc. Avoid taking purine analogs & alkylating agents.  Get a follow-up physical examination done by your treating doctor to rule out skin infiltration with beta lymphocyte(Malignant/non-malignant disorder) often seen in CLL patients. Your husbands' treatment will depend upon the type of skin manifestation detected & investigated.  It can be harmless(insect bite/allergic rash) but if detected malignant it will require immediate treatment without delay.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
