Rashes On The Body Due To High TG Level. Fat Filled Nodules. What Is The Type Of Rash?
Hi, I am a pharmacy student and I see a patient in the hospital with a raised nodules all over the body except the chest and face. The MD suspected the rash is due to her high TG level. TG lab is on the way so I don t have the TG number yet. The reason for their suspect is when they try to open 1 nodule and inside the nodule is fat. Please tell me what do you think and type of the rash.
