Is any of this happening?
Be seen today
If you already have granuloma fungoides, contact your treatment team promptly about:
A new or rapidly growing skin lump
A sore or ulcer that does not heal
New enlarged lymph nodes
Widespread worsening redness or scaling
New unexplained fevers, drenching night sweats, or weight loss
Symptoms that are changing faster than usual
Seek urgent medical care for fever with painful, hot, swollen, or rapidly spreading skin redness, especially around an open lesion.
These may be signs of a serious infection.

Does any of this apply?
Book an appointment
Arrange a routine medical appointment if you have a patch or rash that persists, repeatedly returns in the same place, slowly enlarges, or does not improve with usual treatment.
Common skin conditions are much more likely, but persistent changes deserve assessment.
Most day-to-day changes in granuloma fungoides are not emergencies and can be discussed during routine follow-up.
Every sign above is quoted from the sofidex article on Granuloma fungoides. If you are not sure, err upward — it is always reasonable to be checked.
