Diseases & Conditions - 21 July 2007

This medical condition is a very unique one, and I am hoping someone with a brilliant medical mind can help get my friend the medical answers he needs. This condition in succent form: He develops red fever patches on his body, mostly on his legs. These patches cause him to have DVT (Deep vein thrombosis) and the clots only occur where the red patches are. If he develops one serious enough, he gets the sweats and shortly after the chills. This process is repeated one right after the other, very fast. He has tried almost everything. Lovonox shots, hot/cold treatments on his spots, you name it. Doctors are letting him name this disease so this is the only known occurence.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
