Odd Rash, Looks Like Scarlet Fever, But Not As Red. Posted: 04-24-07 23:40pm
This is going to be a strange post... but
here goes.
My bf called me complaining that his
stomach hurt and he felt very nauseous. He
tried to sleep, couldn't, took a bath and
felt more sick, went to bed and finally
slept. Next day, went to work for about 5
minutes and couldn't work because the pain
in his stomach was so bad. Went to the ER,
did a catscan of his stomach area, took
blood, all the normal stuff. Told him
nothing was wrong with him and they didn't
know why it hurt, maybe he had an
irritated intestine told him to eat soft
foods and wait a few days. 2 days later,
he wakes up with a rash covering his inner
right thigh and wrapping around the front
of his thigh to where his butt cheek
starts. This patch is from about 3 inches
above the knee all the way up to his hip.
He also has a circular patch of about 2-3
inches in diameter on his chest. Went to
the Dr. and they tested him for strep and
put him on Amoxicilin. Strep came back
negative, meds aren't helping, the pain in
his stomach is gone but the rash
remains... The one on his thigh is a deep,
brownish, purplish red color, and the one
on his chest is pale pink. The doctors
have no idea what it is. Does ANYONE have
an idea of what it may be???? Plz let me
know. Thanks.
