Thank you for choosing HCM

I understand the anguish that you must be in.

I think that you have a medullary kidney disease. It is possible that the kidney function has reduced which is causing an increase in the creatinine levels. The raised creatinine and the uric acid causes problems with the skin.

You can treat this by first confirming the cause. To get to the cause, you need to get an Ultrasound done to help get to the cause. Once you know the cause, you can see a Doctor and get treated.

Please follow up after you get an Ultrasound done. All the best.
Hope this helps you.
