Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
Your query shows that there are many health issues which are bothering you.
I'll talk about each one by one.
Firstly, night sweats with loss and decreased appetite suggest tuberculosis (TB). However, tuberculosis is just one of the possibilities but we need to rule it out before looking for something else.
I suggest you to get a blood work up which includes complete blood count and ESR.
Inorder to know the nature of lump on the elbow, an aspiration cytology needs to be done. Aspiration cytology is an office procedure wherein cells are aspirated from the lump and seen under microscope to know its character.
An itchy blister on chest associated with decreased appetite and vomiting may be due primary lesion other than infection and its association with gastrointestinal tract like dermatitis herpetiformis. I suggest you to consult a dermatologist again. Since, the skin lesion is not being treated with antibiotics, possibility of infection is low.
Lymphome is usually accompanied by enlarged lymph nodes and enlarged organs like liver and spleen.
A general physical examination will rule out enlargement of lymph nodes, liver and spleen.
If you more queries, I will be glad to answer.
Thanks
Dr Shailja Puri
