I have been diagosned with Scleroderma and Lupus - Overlap Autoimmune Dieases. Last Sept.2005 water blisters first appeared on my left rib cage- they left in couple of weeks- then the appeared on my left breast- then couple weeks left - then it appeared on my left shoulder. Everywhere it left a scar.
The blisters reappeared about 10 days ago - first 2 blisters on left breast and now 2 more have appeared on same breast they are very painful.
I have had a test for chickenpox and it showed I had never had them so I took 2 shots to immune myself from aquiring the diease in 1996. So more than likely it is not shingles (it does not look like shingles to the doctors I have shown it to)!
My Rhemulogist is not sure what it is but said she had one other patient that had blisters on her ankles ever 3 years.
I take Methotrexate .04cc. Predisone 7.5 mg, Plaquenil 200mg/2 day, Prilosec 40 mg, Loratab 10 mg/3day, Celexa, Zanafles 4mg, Duragesic Patch 75 mg, Folic Acid, lassic 20 mg, Potassium 595 mg, Estratest, and Lyrica 150 mg/2 day.
Please give me an answer- No one not even the Dermatologist I saw knows exactly what is causing these painful recurring blisters.
Thanks,
