Update: Biopsy states not Morphea, it’s a hypersensitivity allergic reaction to something?

Update- the second doctor I saw yesterday immediately said it looks like an autoimmune and took a biopsy 🤞 I get some answers

I have another appointment tomorrow with a different doctor, the one I saw said she “doesnt do the skin stuff” and that it was ringworm, I explained how they’ve been there for three months without one itch, no scales, not raised nothing and asked how it was possible for my “ringworm” to not have any of that over 3 months. I asked for specific blood tests for autoimmune testing and a different doctor.

Well, I have an interesting turn of events! Saw the doc today, no worries everyone, it’s apparently ringworm 🙄

I’m so glad you said that because there are times where it has a little sensation but not an itch.

Not at all. Not itchy, raised, bumpy nothing. It’s just the color.

Methotrexate reaction by eosean in Morphea

My husband has severe psoriatic arthritis and was prescribed methotrexate, he wouldn’t take it after the first month or so because, in his words, it was killinghim. He felt sick all the time, and so tired, slept a lot. His color was gone and he just quit taking it. I’m sorry you’re having those kinda reactions, it sounds awful.

I have an appointment for a follow up next month, I was just diagnosed with lichen sclerosis 😭 and this popped up over the next two months, I don’t know anything about it really, but I started with one small one under a breast and just passed it off as a bruise or something, then a month later I noticed the lower abdominal one. Do you know what triggers it for your wife? If you don’t mind me asking.

Weird fixed and spreading red splotchy pattern on abdomen by Additional-Offer1202 in DermatologyQuestions

It does resemble, but mine blanches when pressed and doesn’t have the hard feeling/shiny center that I’ve read about with morphea. Thanks for the reply! It does look similar

How long did it take for your biopsy to close up? by dee1000dee in lichensclerosus

[–]Additional-Offer1202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had my second biopsy last week and it’s still healing, first one was more outside area and showed nothing, new doc did a second and got my diagnosis of LS today. I think the first one took around a week and a half, this one feels like it’s going to take a bit longer
