hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history of your sister.
As you had been to a physician and he mentioned to meet a dermatologist, I feel it is sensisble to meet up a dermatologist and get a thorough clinical examination.
The plan may go with such - complete blood test, MRI or CT of the arm, may be biopsy as well.
In many cases getting a thorough examination initially with all diagnostic tests done to rule out the various conditions apart from one in the mind helps the treatment plan to be optimum.
Regards.
