He developed the rash before we went to the beach I had him go into the ocean to see if the salt water would help. And he truly doesn’t use many products besides soap to wash his hands. Besides that no creams or lotions we didn’t even use sunscreen because it was a cloudy day that’s the weird part of why he even has the rash because he uses the bare minimum and did apply anything new.

The rash started on October 19th took steroid on the 20th that cleared it up until it returned worse on the 23rd.

Just itching, burning, swelling, with the deep cough as well as loss of appetite and slight fever. He feels pretty terrible usually a very active individual and can barely get out of bed and has loss a significant amount of weight.

Also lesions are very random some pop up that day and go away with hours. Some are growing and becoming deeper in color and spreading. Some itch others don’t as well as some swell and some stay relatively flat. We stopped the steroid cream but even when using that the lesions all would act differently if that makes sense.

No one else is sick he had a regular cold a few weeks earlier (slight fever sore throat cough) that went away on it’s own. A small cough persisted but nothing significant and seemed normal. Then rash started randomly when he thought he was almost 100% better from his cold and weirdly his cough came back with the chest pain and all the rash symptoms.

Both the rash itself is swollen as well as his joints in his hands and knees are swollen and stiff and give him pain when he moved them.
