pityrosporum folliculitis and cancer?

pityrosporum folliculitis and cancer?

I am a mental health patient so i suffer a lot of predijuce and discrimination in the health system thus making my life difficult in dealing with health care professionals because everything is a mental illness, unless it fits their box of reality.

Now in 2003/2004 i worked as a laboratory assistant in forensic science testing greayhounds and horses for performance enchancing drugs in the racing industry, i am sure it was a class 3 lab. All personal had to receive a hepitus B vacination because of a human toxicology laboratory at the laboratory i worked in.

In August 2003 i developed a skin rash and server blocked ear. Now 7 years later i still have both. The initial skin infection was first diagnosed as exma (eczema) and staph and ring worm. The blocked ear was first ignored. treatment was canasten anti fungal(no effect) and staph antibiotics. This turned the foliculitus sores into a rash( that was later tested as pityraiasis versicolor) that spread to my groin. The initial folicuitus was on arms legs and chest. And no effect on ring worm apearing sores. The ring worm apearing sores went away after about 2-3 months.

After a refusal from any GP to a referal to a dematoigist i put down to human right abuse for being a mental patient. I went to emergency department to get a referal to a dermatologist after all GPs refused a referal. Even at the hospital the abuse was shocking ALL doctors nurses were extremely rude and unsympthathetic and said it was exma (eczema) and were going to send me home, without a dermatology referal. Then  I overheard a Swiss doctor i saw say that "In all the hospitals in the world he ever worked in has he ever seen such disregard for huamn rights of a menatlly ill man either Mr ******* ******* gets a referal to drematology or i quit and im going back to geneva" A few moments later he came in and gave me my referal.

At dermatology they did tests and discovered staph, pityriasis versicolor. It took ketokenazole tablet to finaly get rid of pityriasis versicolor. The stpah is gone. Then for 2 years they treated my remaining folicuitus as spath until a biospy revealed pityrosporum folliculitis. That i have even until this day. I also still have the blocked ear problem, not as bad as initial but still there.

In 2008 I had a melena and a endescopy revealed via biospy that i had diffuse large b cell lymphoma. PET scan revealed 66mm X 46mm tumor in lung, lung biospy confirmed large b cell lymphoma. I had 6X rchop 14 and 28X radiation thearapy 50.4 grays xray treatment. Now i am in no deasese detected for nearly 6 months. Next week first endoscopy to see if cancer is back.

The only blood workup i ever had for these infections was a hendra virus check and was negative

I read that the symptoms of pityriasis rosea is like ring worms and bocked ear, and can be an extreme reaction to hepits B vacination is this true and is there an asociation with my cancer( all the pityriasis infections/reactions to my skin? Also it can be a reaction to horses ( the pityriasis problem) is this true?

And can it be infectious/contagous i have noticed some freinds with same phenonium?

If there is an ascoiation to the cancer is there information i can get to show my dermatoigist and hematogist as they both are ignoring all the information i have discovered reasearhed?
