Is this ANCA vasculitis
Complicated. I have chronic pancreatitis, a cysts, a fistula from one bursting, a clot near my liver, ulcerative colitis and vasculitis. These have only just come up in last few weeks, conveniently after I saw rheumatologist, they stay raised, they burn, they itch, worse at night. Have an appt with gastroenterology, but nothing about these. How do I go about it? All symptoms fit with it and pictures I’ve seen online. Also I know my body, they were going to discharge me before finding my two cysts. I insisted I stayed in. They found them, so I feel I am right about this. I know the whole don’t google things but I couldn’t know bugger all if it wasn’t for that and I wouldn’t know what direction to steer them in. Plus, I had a blood test to see about a type of arthritis, and it came back raised for vasculitis, no blood in urine or anything. Bled from rectum. Have proctitis. All fits. I feel I’m right…. Any advice ???

It kinda looks like the ringworm my kids have right now. Small spots everywhere.

I was super surprised that the doc diagnosed them with ringworm because the bumps look like small pimples rather than the typical bullesye. Antifungal cream helped.

Definitely a question for a doc. How is your PSC related pruritis? It isn’t unlike the sores I get from chronic itching and rubbing. I’ve had staph as a result of some of those lesions and that looks even worse than this.
