the incidental host

I went to the dermatologist today. She examined the rash on my legs and told me it is Schaumberg's Disease -- an inflammation of the superficial capillaries. The cause is unknown; she said it could have been caused by my infections or be autoimmune. She didn't biopsy it since it hasn't been itchy or painful, and just told me to come back if it continued to spread or became symptomatic. It's ugly, but that doesn't seem to matter very much right now.
