Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of An Allergy Due To An Autoimmune Disease
Question: My thirty year old son has had what appears to be ringworm from his face to his legs for about 6 weeks. He has been to dr, but got no answers. Has tried over the counter everything. He has changed his diet also. Has suffered terrible depression and also had stomach problems. He has always had allergies although not severe. We are desperate. Can you help us figure this out? Thanks in Advance! XXXX

Hi and thank you so much for this query.
Seeing the rash is very important in identifying what the problem is. Otherwise, it would be guess work and not helpful. Get an image and upload by clicking on the link upload new document on the right of your screen.
I know what it feels like for an adult to suffer from such a disfiguring rash. To the best of our efforts, we would be addressing this.
I wish you well. I hope to hear from you.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the image. It is a single rash and difficult to understand what the general distribution us.
Though it looks like a ringworm, the characteristics do not match this. I will want to explore more in the light of an allergy of an autoimmune disease. I will suggest you follow up with an allergologist of a dermatologist for further review. If there has been any recent addition or new product that he uses, I will suggest that he suspends it and let's see what happens.
I hope this helps. Keep me updated with the progress. Would be happy to address any further concerns if need be.
