Waist And Knees Have Red Spots. Done Skin Biopsy. Is It Related To Stress?
I have red spots on my legs. It started on my ankles then went up to my knees and then to my waist. Two dermatologists said it was Schambergs Disease. Had a skin biopsy and it showed no cancer. Now I noticed it is appearing on my back and stomach. When I wake up in the morning my legs are pretty clear and the spots are lighter. As the day goes on they get worse. No itching or bumps, don`t feel any discomfort. This started about 8 mos. ago. I have not changed my diet or supplements and have done nothing different in my life. I have had a tremendous amt. of stress in the last yr. What should I do next.

hi usually in schambergs disease red spots appear only on the lower legs but i do not think they can appear on the waist or knee or back or stomach.rule out any vasculites condition and treat accordingly.as they are asymptomatic condition nothing to worry.use of frutcee daily once along with application of calamine lotion and along with antibiotic can cure the condition.if no response use steriods wysolone 10mg three times daily tapered to 10 mg daily
