Just wanting to see if anyone else has had something like this happen and if I need to be worried... for the past 2 months I’ve had very itchy skin, mainly on legs, arms, chest and sometimes my back / stomach. Sometimes it’s just really itchy and red but goes back to normal and other times I get something like the photo attached. It’s like a rash however it’s under my skin. Funnily enough, once I have that rash it doesn’t cause any itching and eventually goes away - however the itch in that area can return a couple weeks later. The original itching first started from when I got very sunburnt on a cruise, I ended up getting an extreme itch on my legs and back where the burn was and the doctor said it was an allergic reaction, prescribed a cream and anti hystemene and sent me on my way. The cream did dull the itch and the areas of my sunburn improved however 2 months later I still get itchy but it’s all over now, not just limited to where I was sunburnt.
I have been back to the doctor and had a blood test, all blood count is fine and I have excellent health - in regard to the spots and rashes I’ve been getting, the doctor just said I should moisturize after a shower with sorbelene....
also so for the past few weeks I’ve been exhausted. Not so much a need to sleep, just no energy even just after 2 hours of being awake.
I know itching and fatigue can be a symptom of lymphoma - I have checked my lymph nodes in my neck, armpits and they don’t appear to have any enlarged lumps - however that being said I generally am a little lumpy apparently so I find it hard to tell as I do feel lumps but I am not sure if that’s normal or not.
I feel like the doctors don’t seem to care all too much, I’m 29 so still young and blood count was fine - I just don’t think putting some sorbelene on my skin is going to solve the itch/rash - however I have attempted it and it hasn’t done too much.
Has anyone experienced this before - and had a rash that looks like mine? Should I be pushing my doctors to test further ?
