dear,
Mycosis fungoids is lymphomatus disorder affecting the skin. treatment is superficial radiotherapy. It is a chronic progressive disorder, may remain indolent for quite some time and most of the time turns to leukaemia. Immidiatly there are no side effects of the disease other than what you have at present. Further symptoms develop as per the status of the disease. Best is to carry on the treatment as advised by your doctor,
