A member asked:

I have ulcerated blisters that do not heal on most of my face...diagnosed with autonomic neuropathy...my pcp does not believe they are related and will not really treat them accordingly...biopsies confirm no virus, bacteria, just blisters w/pain,help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I agree with your PCP. Although the brain may communicate with the skin, I don't think the peripheral nerves do. I recommend consulting a dermatologist at the department of dermatology at a university hospital near you.
