I have had a rash for a year on my ankle area, I have had tests and biopsies which come back negative for parasite, fungus etc... the dermatologists and my gp have come to the conclusion of psoriasis or eczema. I also have a patch on my thumb and hand. I have had numerous nodules come up on my skin which the gp diagnosed as dermatofibromas, which were benign upon biopsy. If they are removed, they do grow back. Reading the reviews and questions, I am wondering if I also could have dermatomyositis. I had an xray last year and it did show interstitial pneumonia, I was treated with antibiotics, and the gp said that he would do another xray this year. I also have had some chest pain, which the cardiologist diagnosed as angina, after the catherization did not show any blockages. I know that without seeing pics of my rash it would be hard for you give me a clear diagnosis, but can you give me some ideas as to what to communicate with my doctor as I feel I am becoming my own advocate.
