Greetings,

What are your symptoms now? How long the symptoms are there? Are you worried about cancer? What is your exact query now? Was any other test done besides urine and fecal tests? Is there any significant past illness?
Regards.

Thank you for the input.

The sores can be due to a few probables. There can be an infection like a bacterial infection. Fungal or yeast infections usually cause itching & rash. The rash can be circular in shape but ulcer or sore is not common. Other possibilities can be dermatitis, allergy, eczema etc. Lyme disease can cause rash but it would fade in weeks. When it is continuing for years, I would advise to have an examination by a dermatologist.

If you have any query, please feel free to ask.
It will be my privilege to assist you.

I have ben to many dermatologists who cannot even touch my legs but give me creams-nothing for swelling could it be lichens planus-is that bacteria could the antibiotics I take worsen the condition do you believe in lyme disease>

Your skin symptoms may not be due to lyme. Your lyme doctor also have doubt about it. Lichen is not bacterial infection. The cause is not entirely clear. It is immunological or allergic in nature. It can be treated with antihistamine, steroids or immune modulators.
