Have you found a cure? I seem to have the same symptoms. Thx K
Forgot to add, my IgE levels are 1251. That's really high as the average if I remember correctly is around 250. This could indicate an allergy but it seems more like a parasitic infection.
Thank you for your patience and time. I appreciate all responses.
Update: The dermatologist declared it is not any sort of skin problem. He referred me to an Internal Medicine doctor who said my thyroid needs be examined for growths or any abnormalities. After some quick research, the symptoms I've been experiencing are nowhere near those of thyroid malfunction. In any case they are convinced it's an allergy despite what I say. I even wrote exactly what is written above on a piece of paper and showed them. The only comment I received was, "it could also be stress".
I went to work today and overheard my colleague talking to her boyfriend and girlfriend about how she has a new rash that she says makes it impossible to even sit. She has been itching for a few weeks now, in the same manner as I have been. She says it's getting worse and she has to see a doctor. Her skin exhibits the same symptoms of mine, even though I am weary of speaking to her about it. This confirms my doubts about this being a simple allergy. After all, this would be the 6th person to contract it from me.
The most important part of this discussion:
What on earth could this be? It has multiple stages that seem to get better with time, but I am afraid it may be migrating internally. I came across a disease called Pinta. It can be detected by means of a syphilis exam. I need to find out the broadest spectrum of possibilities to find out exactly what I'm dealing with, since no doctor seems knowledgeable. My future is hinged on curing this disease. Please help.
Even norwegian scabies should be explored. Norwegian scabies is a severe form of scabies and is also called as crusted scabies. It is mostly found in individuals with compromised immune system and thus allowing for the infestation of an individual with hundreds of thousands of the mites. Lesions are found all over the body and may spread all over the body. The elbows, knees, palms, scalp, and soles of the feet are most commonly the original sites of involvement, and the scaly areas eventually take on a wart-like appearance.
Hello,
Such a contagious rash can be due to scabies or fungal infection. Scabies is characterized by intense itching, usually at night and by small insect-type bites lesions on the skin. Diagnosis of scabies is made by scraping the skin and viewing the material under a microscope to see the characteristic mite or eggs.
I suggest you to get it evaluated from a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
STD tests were negative as of 5 months ago. Blood tests show an allergy is present. Stool tests show negative for known parasites. Scabies treatment has failed multiple times.
