Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

My thoughts and suggestions are as below. Bumps on scalp that itch an burst, edema legs can be due to multiple reasons and since biopsy has been done the diagnosis must be certainly available that you have not mentioned. Your husband has already been seen by a Doctor and a Dermatologist. This may be some autoimmune disease as per the description you have given. Hence the treatment is general in the form of oral steroids, anti-inflammatory, Multivitamins with mineral as supplements to be given as per the blood reports. The edema leg can be due to anemia, cardiac problem, renal problem and so on and needs proper clinical evaluation, examination and investigations of blood, urine and ultrasonography of kidneys and as needed to get an appropriate cause and management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
