Rash EVERYWHERE? Please helpHello, so a little background. I am a 23yo F. I suffer from an ED and weigh approximately 80lbs and am 51. I was diagnosed with MCTD, scleroderma, dermatomyositis, and a grocery list of other things, but I feel those are most prevalent to the issues I am having. I also use marijuana regularly as well as vape. So. I moved to MI from MO last summer. Ever since about.. November 2021 I have been having skin issues. The skin is incredibly dry, most spots opened and scabbed and now they hurt and itch. No lotion I have tried (10+) seem to help. I have it on my legs, arms, chest, hip, back, face, behind/in my ears. Ive never had my skin look like this while living in MO. I have seen my PC and I have a rheumatology appointment end of April. I dont even want to imagine how much more this will progress. Does anyone know what this is? Or how I can manage it to minimize symptoms? Im at a loss. Please help! Skin rash

Images do not allow us to see the extent and appearance of the eruption. A diagnosis is not possible. You are medically complex and you need dermatology care. I work closely with many rheumatologists and we have mutual respect. I would not count on a rheumatologist to manage your skin.
Did they inform him of the Burn Pit Registry through the VA?
These look like theyre due to an exotic infectious agent. He needs biopsies, cultures, and I would think about trying doxycycline for like 6 weeks. Ask your ID doctor about empiric antibiotic treatment and see what they think.
