I had a blood/skin disease back when I was 8 but I can't remember the name of it?!
Question: I had a blood/skin disease back when I was 8 but I can't remember the name of it.?
If I describe it to you, could you please tell me what I had.?
My mum said it was called pyrithia, when I donated blood, the nurse told me it was called purpella, but I've looked up various spellings of each word and I can't find either of them anywhere.
It started off when I was bitten by an insect (British bug, nothing exotic), something then got into my blood and appeared on my skin. I had bright reddish/purplish dots all over my arms and legs which were incredibly itchy. When I scratched them my skin raised up in those areas. I probably had other symptoms but I can't remember them and I can't remember what I took to get rid of it, other than Pyriton syrup and Fucidan cream, but I'm not sure if I used them for that particular illness.
I still have some of the dots on my arms over twelve years on.
I would ask my doctor but waiting times at my local practise try my patience and I would prefer to wait until I'm actually ill before I attempt to waste his time. So rather than leaving me in the dark until I get another painful ear infection or the like, can you please tell me what I had.?Health Question & Answer
