Hi,

Actually, the rash should be observed by the doctor. Although I can ask you some tests:
1. Complete blood count
2. Fasting blood sugar
3. Hemoglobin
4. HoloTC
5. Folate level
6. Platelet count
7. Skin biopsy of the rash

For numbness, physical examination by a neurologist is suggested. All these tests should be done and with the result, you can post another question or you can follow up with me. Do not worry. I am trying to see all the possibilities. There are many treatments available.

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