What Causes Knots On The Fingers,hair Loss And Swollen Lymph Nodes?
My fiance is a 27 y/o male. He has knots that will come up sporatically on his fingers. He has also lost patches of his hair that has been diagnosed and alopecia. He has what looks to be a swollen lymph node behind his ear. He has been to many doctors who have ran blood work and he has also visited a dermatologist. He is very concerned that he has some underlying disease that the doctors are missing. I have to re-assure him daily that he will be ok. Please help me
