Area(s) of body affected : Right leg and hip
Personal History:
I
was diagnosed yesterday and have had no treatment. For as long as I can remember
I have always felt the leg was "different." When I was little and my
parents would dry me off after a bath I remember freaking out when they would
try to dry off my right leg. It felt tender and I didn't like it to be touched.
When I was 17 my leg got really big (compared to the other leg) and has stayed
that way since. I went to the doctor because I was having a constant dull pain
in the leg and I was having shooting pain in my shin to my knee. My shin has a
large lump on it that is extremely painful.
I don't know if this has anything to do with melo but my left leg is covered in
what appear to be "freckles." The USF dermatology department doesn't know what
it is or what is causing it. The supposed freckles go all the way up to my hip
and stops. I can send a picture if needed.
