Skin fungal infections

Hi Mark, ironically I had years of having skin fungal infections (as I had a Skin Lymphoma) and SCT has clear these all up.

I hope that you and your team can find the best way forward in this.

Hi Mark,

I have had a few odd skin blemishes in the past few years, no idea if it is connected to SCT or not. I had something which looked like ringworm at the top of my thigh which lasted for ages and a few red patches on my calf which have stayed there permanently (well over 18 months now). I went to the GP and they were a bit nonplussed - I was given some creams which pretty much didn’t do anything, I was feeling well so just didn’t bother going back to the GP when the course ran out. I filed it under “one of those things”, but if it’s concerning you, definitely get it checked out by your medical teams.

All the best

Greg

Thanks for your replies folks. Strangely my consultant rang me today for a 12 month follow up and he said fungal infections are quite common after transplant. Just carry on with creams and oitments.

Hope your all keeping well and coping with lockdown

Mark, I did have a bad Lung Fungal infection that put me in hospital for a week.

Lockdown has the outside of our house looking amazing
