My Husband Having Vasculitis From Past Three Years

My husband who is a software engineer by occupation is having vasculitis from past three years, with the following symptoms .. rashes in legs , redness in eyes and now blood also comes in spitting in the morning usually...he is on corticosteroids tablets from last two years , it was fine for 6-8 months but now again the rashes pops up now and then... please suggest some treatment immediately.
Steroids are adequate treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
What type of vasculitis does he have? Can you also post the photo of the rash? What are his medicines and doses? If steroids tablets are helping in resolving the vasculitis, then some rash is not a problem. If some rash apppears, a steroidal preparation like betnovate can be applied twice a day for 3 days. It should help resolvethe rash.
In case, if vasculitis is progressing, then his treating surgeon will be better able to suggest. If steroids are not working, then cytotoxic immunosuppressive agents like azathioprine, cyclophosphamide are given. These are stronger drugs. Drink cleaner water to avoid any superimposing infections. If some pus etc is forming then antibiotics may need to be given.
Hope this helps.
