Yes, I have heard of vasculitis. It is a group of diseases that cause inflammation of the blood vessels, which can result in itchy patches on the skin, as well as other symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and joint pain. It can affect people of all ages and can be caused by a variety of factors, including infections, autoimmune disorders, and certain medications. It is important to seek medical treatment if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with vasculitis, as early detection and proper management can help prevent complications and improve quality of life. I hope your father is receiving the necessary care and support, and I wish him a speedy recovery.
