Hi
Thanks for writing in.
You said you have CLL for 2 years but not mentioned anything about the stage or any othe symptoms. You have mentioned that you are on wait and watch.
If the CLL is in control (normal hemoglobin and blood platelet counts, no liver spleen enlargement) then these wart-like lesions are unlikely to be due to leukemia. They can be viral warts or simply moles. But if the CLL is not in control or even otherwise, there is a possibility that they may be due to infiltration by CLL cells. That can be best ascertained by biopsy of a typical lesion.
The blood blisters seem to be unrelated to be due to CLL.
If you can send me pictures then I may guide you better. In any event these are worth a look by your hematologist/oncologist.
Regards
