Can Sudden Appearance Of Red Knots On Lower Body Be Due To Any Reaction ?
Question: I have red knots that have been transiently appearing on my thighs, buttocks and torso for over the last year and half, they make it very difficult to sit down and will appear suddenly without warning. I have seen a hemotologist, rheumetologist, two dermatologists, infectious disease guy and had 5 biopsies, nothing conclusive, just bruising according to path report. Could it be a reaction to something I am eating?
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
The fact that you have seen multiple specialists for this with no definitive answers creates a situation where we have to think outside of what is somewhat more common. With what you are describing we think in terms of categories which could be related to a cause. These categories include infectious, allergic, hematologic or possibly hormonal.
In order to make some suggestions and recommendations I'd like a little bit more information from you if possible. If you have a copy of the pathology report from the biopsy I'd like to review that. In addition, could you send a photo or two of typical lesions which you are seeing for me to review? These can all be sent to my attention at YYYY@YYYY . And please confirm by writing here about the mailing of the photos and the report so that I could reply you back at the earliest.
After careful review of this information I can proceed further with some considerations. I know this must be a very frustrating situation for you and I am hopeful that we will be able to provide some useful information for you.
I look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Dr. Galamaga
