What Causes Rashes On Body, Cellulitis On Fingers And Lack Of Appetite?

A 22 year old college senior, football player, has been having multiple rashes and cellulitis on fingers, legs, chest with intense itching for 7 months now. He has been treated and analyzed by a dermatologist since Sept and all tests have come back negative. Recently, he has been having no appetite because of full feeling and abdominal pain which also has produced 5+ liquid stools per day. He now has extremely swollen lymph nodes under both arms, has some distortion of the trapezium on one side, and has lost 5 pounds this week. Prior to this he has had a lot of upper respiratory infections requiring treatment.
