What Does Recurrent Rash On Legs Indicate?

Hello doctors, I have had a rash sort of thing on my legs for over a year now, and they go into scars but they keep re-appearing in the same spot in the scar, I have been waiting for dermatologist for over 4 weeks now, and my GP said that they will ring and they have not. My hair has been falling out aswell, and i have the same rash/spot like on my scalp inside my hair. Aswell as that i keep getting sharp shooting pains in my right lower side of my belly, and the same sharp shooting pains near my heart, i have had blood test s for liver function, U&E creatnine, TSH, FBC&DIFF, and they have all came back normal. It is now effecting my emotions, as i feel depressed, and anxious. I just really want to know what is wrong... and im hoping you could help. I am 16 years of age and a female.

Hello,

A few probable causes of your rash with scarring are atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, lichen plants, tinea Versicolor, scabies, zinc, niacin and vitamin B12 deficiency, acrodermatitis enteropathica or impetigo. To rule them out, get examined in person by a dermatologist.

You may need to take steroids for initial treatment. As your scalp also has the same rash, you need to go seethe specialist in person.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
