Hello,
I am a 21 year old who has been suffering from a skin rash for a long time. I have been attending a dermatology clinic for 15 years but still do not have a diagnosis as such. The rash typically appears as 'blisters' and has only ever affected my joints such as knees, elbows, fingers, toes and palms. I occasionally also get joint pain in my ankles. Generally the rash can become irritated, painful and itchy, the blisters never burst and eventually disappear.
Over the years I have several diagnosis including urticaria, gynoti crosti syndrome, erythema multiforme. I have also had photo sensitivity tests which was more or less negative and a negative blood test for Lupus. I am currently being treated for Lupus due to 1 out of 3 biopsies suggesting that it could be possibly lupus though all my other tests were negative for this condition. The medication for Lupus also has not affected the flare ups of the rash and it is still reappearing from time to time.
I was just wondering if anyone else has seen or suffered from a similar condition. I still attend dermatology clinics but have not yet received effective treatment or a diagnosis so would appreciate some replies
