Hi.... I just got off phone with my doctor and she send for more chest xrays because she found a swollen lymph node on my left lung.....im really scared and in pain because I have these overwhelming red marks on my forearms and knee areas....im really trying to stay positive but she said cancer, lymphoma or tumor may be some of the worst case scenarios...also because I have psoriasis and im hurting where the red bomps are swollen, she would not give me prednisone.... I just need some encouragement for my wife daughter and I.....really scared
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your condition and problem. There are two possibilities in your case.1. Infective enlargement of lymph nodes as skin lesions are due to psoriasis only. Since you are on immunosuppressive therapy for psoriasis this cane the cause.2. Malignant lymph node and spread of malignancy in skin. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done CT Thorax with contrast. CT gives clear-cut idea about the lesion. If necessary get done biopsy from the lymph node to confirm the diagnosis.
