Hi,

Thanks for the images you sent.

They do not appear to be allergic . Also they do not have a similar pattern on all affected areas.Hence, I would consider a mixed cause involvement here.

I suggest you to apply Casso's cream topically to affected area as a thin film two to three times daily and watch for three days .The cream is a broad spectrum anti-bacterial , anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory.If there is any good change in the lesions then do continue for a week more to get rid of them completely.

If there is no getting better with the cream then I advice you to get yourself examined by a Dermatologist and also to get a FNAC (Fine needle aspiration cytology) of the lymph nodes you have .The rashes could be secondary in relation with the lymph nodes and bone pains caused by a underlying illness.The FNAC will surely give a clue if any.

Hope I answered all your questions. Please use any answer clarification before closing and rating this answer. I will be happy to explain or expand on any issue you may have.

My itching has got worse I'm worried since I read that's a lymphoma symptom.my hands hurt really bad as well as my legs..

Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

Need not worry.I would not consider even for the minimum chances for it to be lymphoma. I would suggest you to go for a FNAC this is very minor and early way to rule out lymphoma.

The symptoms you have could also be due to anxiety or stress involved.

FNAC will give a detailed picture and will rule out lymphoma for your notice.
