Red itchy blotches and spots
In the last four weeks I have been having some weird red blotches, some small white blisters, and some small boils, around my hairline, in my scalp, behind my ears and down my neck. I started to get an itchy scalp with small pimples around the time I was diagnosed but it was given little attention. I have tried different shampoos, conditioners etc. My GP has prescribed a cortisone lotion, but I am reluctant to use it!
Now, it seems to be worsening and every day I find one or two new itchy bumps in different places - today I have one on my chest, last week there was one on my upper arm. My GP has put in a referral to a Dermatologist but I am wondering if anybody else with MDS RA is having skin problems, other than mouth sores? I am not taking any treatments and my last counts were stable. However, I have noticed I am out of breath more easily so wonder if my hb has dropped. Anybody have similar condition?
