This is common: It sounds like your husband is one of those special guys with a gene to get angiokeratomas here. They're unrelated to Fabry's, where they occur on the trunk. Best wishes.

Visualdx: Hi, it’s hard to say without a picture but there is a great app that may be able to help you get a diagnosis without being seen in person by a dermatologist. The app is called VisualDX and is one of the best, if not the best out there. Many clinicians, including myself, use it. Just snap a photo and it gives you a list of possible diagnoses. Good luck!
