For months now, I have been having these dark coloured stuffs/layers on my skin of which I had to consult a medical doctor who in turn told me it's an "Allergy" after explaining to him that these dark layers doesn't scratch, itch or pain me except for the blemish it's causing on my skin.
NOT SCRATCHING
NO PAIN
NO ITCHING
Just the colour blemish.

He gave me some drugs prescription which I used for three weeks but no improvement. I went back to complain to him and he directed me to some Gynaecologists in the state hospital.

The Gynaecologist I met in the first week wrote several tests which I should do for me after explaining everything to her which I proceeded to the Lab to do.
Microfilaria test, Stool, Urine and see kinds of blood tests were carried out of which all tested NEGATIVE to whatever they have tested each specimen / sample for.

Took the results to the state hospital weeks after but I met another Gynaecologist (Rotation) who later asked me to go for HIV test after showing her all the results and this blemish on my skin.

She told me the drugs and cream I used for the treatment in the first place won't work, but she reaffirmed that it's AN ALLERGY like the Medical Doctor told me in the first place.
She prescribed another cream of which I have used for weeks, yet, no changes!

Doctors, Gynaecologists in the house, please your help is needed.

Someone said its lichen planus.... just googled it now .
Lemme quote what wikipedia said o...... "There is no cure for lichen planus,(Thongprasom,K et al.,2011) and so treatment of cutaneous and oral lichen planus is for symptomatic relief or due to cosmetic concerns.[Limited, Therapeutic Guidelines (2009). ][Thongprasom, K et al.,2011][Kerawala C et al.,2010] When medical treatment is pursued, first-line treatment typically involves corticosteroids,[Limited, Therapeutic Guidelines (2009).] and removal of any triggers.(Issa, Y 2004) Without treatment, most lesions will spontaneously resolve within 6–9 months for cutaneous lesions,[Limited, Therapeutic Guidelines (2009). ] and longer for mucosal lesions.[Scully, C et al.,1985].

This is quite extensive skin lesion. It may be more than just a skin condition as the skin as an organ can sometimes be window to what's going on the internal organs/system.


As a doctor, I find most skin conditions (simple dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis)can be cleared by steroid cream or oral form and by avoiding irritants. In your case, oral is more potent.

I suggest you visit your regular doctor first for intense check-up, then get referral for a dermatologist.

Consider getting HIV and Hepatitis test.

Also google "dermatitis neglecta"- if in case you have issues with hygiene.

Go and see a DERMATOLOGIST at a Teaching Hospital preferably....

Their services are often expensive (they might refer you to their private practices) but you would likely get the best advice.

Likely Lichen Planus
See a dermatologist
U will need a very strong steroid like betamethasone

She says its not itchy. Lichen planus is intensely itchy and the distribution from the pictures are not typical of LP

I think it may just be a post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation but she really needs to see a dermatologist for a definitive diagnosis.

@Mychive

Discolored skin patches are irregular areas where there are changes in skin color. They are a common problem with a wide array of potential causes.

Some of the more common causes for changes in skin color are illness, injury, and inflammatory problems.

Discolored skin patches also commonly develop in a certain part of the body due to a difference in melanin levels. Melanin is the substance that provides color to the skin and protects it from the sun. When there is an overproduction of melanin in a given area, it can result in skin discoloration there.

Other factors that could cause skin discoloration like yours could be due to radiation from radiotherapy, pregnancy and allergies as your dermatologist postulated.

What you should do:

Go for a Wood’s lamp examination to identify possible fungal or bacterial infections. A Wood’s lamp examination is a procedure that uses trans-illumination (light) to detect bacterial or fungal skin infections. It also can detect skin pigment disorders such as vitiligo and (re-vitiligo) and other skin irregularities.

OR...

A Skin Biopsy Test to examine a small sample of the affected skin under a microscope for the presence of abnormal cells. A skin lesion biopsy is a simple medical procedure in which a sample of your skin is removed and tested in a laboratory.

The sample taken during a biopsy is often very small, sometimes the size of a grain of rice. The sample size is just large enough for laboratory technicians to test for various issues that could be the cause of a skin lesion.

Hello OP I am an alternative medicine practitioner based in Ghana and already assisting some nairalanders here in Ghana and in Nigeria with solutions to their own medical conditions and skin conditions.

I am surprised that you had to go to a gynaecologist for a skin condition.

Anyway this is not a skin condition as you thought but the reaction is showing on your skin. There is however an underlying cause of this.

This is an inflammatory disease caused by your immune system attacking its own tissues. More like your body is fighting itself and this is why they could not detect anything at the lab.

I know what you have but before I can say it I need you to answer a few questions.

1) Do you sometimes or often feel pains in the muscles?

2) Do you sometimes feel pain while breathing?

3) Do you sometimes feel a sharp pain in the chest

4) Do you sometimes feel whole body fatigue or fever?

5) Does your mouth sometimes feel dry.

6) Are you suffering some form of hair loss or loss of scalp hair

7) Does your body feel sensitive to sunlight? I mean when under direct sunlight do the parts with the discoloration feel different?

Kindly respond to my questions then I can make things clear to you. Thank you

PS, a dermatologist cannot help you.

Just number 4 & 5 only.
I sometimes feel some creaking in my chest bone whenever I stretch myself or stretch my chest.
NO PAIN in muscles at all.

I actually meant DERMATOLOGIST. It's a mistake. I misused the terms. Please excuse my manners.

I have seen TWO DERMATOLOGISTs in the state Specialist hospital already.
The HIV test was NEGATIVE as well.

Thank you for replying.

What you have is known as systemic lupus erythematosus or Lupus for short.

It is a systemic auto immune disease which is often triggered by infections, certain drugs or even sunlight.

It is often difficult to diagnose because it mimics other symptoms and reactions but the picture you posted made it very clear to me what it was along with the response you gave to my question. I have handled a few so know about it.

Also this condition has brought about another condition for you called Sjogrens disease which is another autoimmune disorder. Sjogrens causes the glands responsible for tears and saliva to malfunction and cause sensations of dryness in your mouth often.

This can be handled via alternative medicine. Conventional medicine has no cure for it.

If you wish to have me treat you, then you can talk to me.

The fact that it does not itch portends to a systemic cause. It has something to do with what you are ingesting or what is happening inside your body. What medicines are you currently taking? Did you take any antibiotics in the last 6 months? Were you taking any medicines when this started?

Had sinusitis some months before this started. Took some antibiotics back then which cured it.
Drug was prescribed by a Medical Doctor.

I haven't changed the food I eat. Neither have I stopped taking any which I have been taking since inception except for breast milk of course.

Also I would like to be given a breakdown of the medications you have ingested or applied topically.
