Red Inflamed Skin. Diagnosed With Angiitis. Blood Test Clear. Awaiting Biopsy And Culture Test Result. On Doxycycline For Few Years
I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH ANGIITIS. I AM FEMALE AND 60 YRS. OLD. I HAVE RED INFLAMED SKIN AREAS MOSTLY ON MY LOWER CALVES, FRONT TO SIDE AND DOWN THRU MY FEET. THAT STARTED OUT AS SMALL REDISH SPOTS AND OVER 3-4 DAYS NOW HAVE LINKED TOGETHER IN A BIG REDISH BLOTCHES. BEFORE THEY DID THAT, THE RED BLEMISHES LOOKED LIKE PHOTOS THAT I HAVE SEEN OF SHINGLES WITH OUT THE BLISTERING. I DO HAVE SPORATIC SMALL SPOTS ON TORSO, ARMS AND BACK (LIGHT). NOTHING ABOVE SHOULDERS. I HAD THE CHILLS WHEN THEY BROKE OUT THE FIRST NIGHT. NEVER TOOK TEMP. BLOOD TEST SHOWS EVERYTHING OK. WAITING FOR PUNCH BIOPSY AND CULTURE TESTS OF THROAT AND NOSE. HAVE NO KNOWN FOOD ALLERGIES. JUST SULFER. I AM TAKING DOXCYCLINE 250 MG. FOR PAST 3 DAYS. ANY IDEAS?
