First off I know I should go to the doctors instead but I have an extremely stressful week of finals so I don't have time to. I am 19 years old, and I have been dealing with an autoimmune disease called ITP for the past 2-3 years. Recently I got something odd on my skin, it was first like a big mosquito bite and then it slowly flattened and now the middle is somewhat flaky. Days after I realized there were a few more flaky spots in my body and lots of mosquito-like bites with no flakyness in the center. I am getting very afraid of it being PLEVA, as i'm aware once you have an autoimmune disease you are more likely to get another one. It looks more like Pityrasis Rosea though, I can't decide so I have posted a picture.
i'd like to mention it's not itchy nor burning at all, it's just there
The doctor sounds like a good idea , if only to check your plethora of problems
Have you considered bed bugs ?
You have probably hit the nail on the head when you mentioned stress. That would trigger it.
It looks a little like Pompholyx but that is generally very itchy. It tends to have small blisters in patches, rather like the picture you posted
You say you have already have ITP, so you should probably go and see your doctor
Hi Badger ~
Have you ever had the Epstein-Barr virus? I'm asking that because sometimes can be caused by a hypersensitivity reaction to infectious agents...such as the Epstein-Barr virus. Other infectious agents include the adenovirus and parvovirus B19. Meaning, the problem could actually be a secondary problem to something you may have had in the past. Just a thought.
I'm not a doctor by any means but I did have a friend who did infact have the Epstein-Barr virus and she ended up with spots that look somewhat like yours...it was a while back so I could be mistaking. You really should have a Dermatologist look at that before it gets out of hand and leaves scars. Good Luck!
