What Does Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma Looks Like?

I was wondering if there is a site I can go to, to view pictures of what cutaneous T cell lymphoma looks like. I have some marks on my stomach that I think are suspicious and they itch and never go away. Recently they have increased. I d like to see some pictures of what plaques look like so I can compare it to what I am experiencing.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

The two common forms of cutaneous T cell lymphoma are mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome. The clinical features in this condition might vary. In mycosis fungoides, there is nonspecific dermatitis, patches on lower trunk and buttocks; minimal itching, however there can also be plaques that are intensely itching. Sezary syndrome can cause edematous skin with reddish discoloration of the skin.

You must consult a dermatologist immediately to confirm your condition. Pictures can overlap in many diseases and to the untrained eye this can lead to confusion. Please do not rely on making a self diagnosis with pictures. Early treatment should not be ignored if your condition involves a serious illness like malignancy of cutaneous T sell type. Please do not worry.
