A little worried can you help

Hi there

Over the last 18 months I have been having some health issues and wondered if I could have your opinion please.

It all started with a rash on both of my hands and feet and spread to a full body rash. I also was very fatigued.

After seeing my GP I was given some anti histamines and all cleared up except my hands and feet.

I had a myriad of tests and all came back clear so it was all put down to stress.

Two days ago I got a rash on both of my elbows that is painful (and swollen on the left said) and a hard lump has appeared on my left arm At the top of my forearm where the vein is. It’s about 2cm across and the joint area is sore. I am also getting a bit of pain in my hands.

I have a bit of a bad chest (bit of a rough feeling) but no cough. I am still feeling a bit dizzy and tired. I have had a bruise appear on the inside of my leg for no apparent reason.

I have skin peeling away on my hands and am starting to get a bit worried

Do you have any experience on what this could be

  • Welcome to the forum Garry although I'm sorry for the reason you're joining us.

    Hopefully some of our members who may have had similar symptoms will be along soon to share their experiences with you but as these symptoms are new it may be worth going back to your doctor to discuss this with them as they are the only one who can diagnose you and tell you more.

    If you have more than one doctor at your GP surgery you could book an appointment with another doctor to get a second opinion.

    I hope you're able to get to the bottom of this soon Garry.

    All the best,
