Medical Conditions - Mycosis Fungoides

Mycosis fungoides is a common form of blood cancer called cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. It occurs when white blood cells called T cells become cancerous. These cells can affect the skin by causing various types of skin lesions. A red rash appears on the skin that is not exposed to the sun. Generalized itching with pain also occurs in the affected region. It is treated by ultraviolet B radiation therapy, topical chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.
