55 DoctorsKrishna Williams, a 28-year-old high school...
Krishna Williams, a 28-year-old high school teacher, had been battling a persistent, itchy rash on her torso and arms for six weeks. Initially dismissed as stress-related eczema, it worsened despite topical steroids. She felt exhausted, but attributed it to her demanding job. When painful mouth ulcers appeared and her lymph nodes swelled, her primary doctor ran tests revealing an active Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infection. Referred to dermatologist Dr. Chen, she learned the rash was an uncommon EBV manifestation called Gianotti-Crosti syndrome. Dr. Chen recommended supportive care: soothing oatmeal baths, antihistamines for itch, and close monitoring, explaining the rash would resolve as her immune system controlled the virus. The treatment was simple but required patience. Over eight weeks, the rash slowly faded without scarring. Emotionally, Krishna moved from anxiety and frustration over the mysterious illness to relief at having a clear diagnosis. The experience taught her to listen to her body, and she now prioritizes rest, managing her initial fear of a more serious condition.
