Does A Swelling Rash On The Neck Indicate Auto Immune Disease?
My 15 year-old grandson has been hospitalized since Tuesday in rural Georgia with a swelling rash that began on his neck. It has spread to his face, some on torso and legs. Drs in a quandary. All tests negative. Could it be auto-immune? Runs in the family.
HI Well come to HCM Yes this could be auto-immune disorders, cologne disease would be very likely, it is like wide gate open for anything right from hypersensitivity, urticarial, worm infestation, some time this would be fine on its own, if this is happening on and often then this may need some investigation, condition would be fine soon, this may not be danger, take care.
