DD 13, rash on arms been there for a couple of months now, accompanied by dizziness and fatigue. GP investigating skin cancer and Lupus as it appears sun activated by pattern. My father has had skin cancer so I am concerned although GP wouldn’t elaborate on her initial thoughts. Bloods tomorrow then further testing.
it’s so unusual snd seems to have everyone baffled…..any experience of this would be appreciated to stop a worried mother panicking please!
Hi Coffeesavesthe day. This could turn out to be lots of things, hence why maybe the GP is reluctant to be specific..My husband has skin issues which has turned out to be psoriasis stimulated by sunshine and light. He is on a specific type of medication through his Consultant. Is it itchy at all? Is it possible the fatigue is caused by lost sleep due to worrying, because that's a possibility as well. I think what I'm trying to say is try not to get too far ahead in your thoughts as this could yet turn out to be something less worrysome than you think.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
