Hi, thanks for using Healthcare Magic.

From this biopsy report of the epidermis, indicate that you might suffer erythema multiforme.

Erythema multiforme is a skin disorder resulting from an allergic reaction. Erythema multiforme is a type of hypersensitivity reaction (allergy) that occurs in response to drugs, infections, or diseases. Objects associated with erythema multiforme include sulfonamides, penicillins, barbiturates, and phenytoin. While infections associated with this reaction include herpes simplex and Mycoplasma infections.

Symptoms such as:
* Multiple lesions on the skin
* Itching of the skin
* Fever
* Feeling sick
* Joint pain

To make sure about this, you can consult your treating doctor.

Hope this explanation helps and feel free to consult back!

Take care,
Dr. Nurul Falah
