What Causes Tiredness, Red Spots On The Legs And Swelling In The Stomach?
Hello, I am trying to help my boyfriend with his father who refuses to go to the hospital. He has red spots all over his limbs, is tired and has a swollen stomach despite not eating is very uncharacteristically down and is itchy.He also has a cough but we aren t sure if that is because of this or from him smoking.I know that stuff like this can make people sick so as far as I know he smokes and drinks and from the sound of it is overworking too. He is a carpenter/logcutter.
Red spots that have started to feel itchy could be due to allergy reaction to any allergen or scabies. I need to have a look at the spots myself.
If a cough is aggravating then could be due to virus or bacteria which might have also caused red spots on limbs. So, should get checked by lung specialist first to rule out respiratory issues.
Then, a dermatologist for a more specialized dermatological examination and treatment. Feeling fatigue is due to lung infection he might be going through. So better get him checked by a lung specialist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
