Capillaritis

My dermatalogist is sending me to another specialist because after 2 biopsies and blood work, he is unsure of my condition.  He thinks that I have chronic capillaritis.  I have been reading on this condition and to say the least I am not liking what I have found out.  I have this what looks like a skin rash all over my legs front and back, top and bottom, on my buttocks area, my arms, and my stomach, basically everywhere but my face and chest area.  When putting me on prednisone, it cleared up within days but after stopping the med, it came back and came back I believe worse.  It is very itchy at times.  I have been taking vitamin C with bioflavonoids but have seen no relief.  Any suggestions.  This has been going on for well over 1 yr, I believe coming on 2 yrs.

Do you still have this condition? I have the same thing and I’m going on 9 months.
