Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of calciphylaxis include:
- Large purple net-like patterns on skin
- Deep, very painful lumps that ulcerate creating open sores with black-brown crust that fails to heal — typically in skin areas with high fat content, such as the stomach and thigh, although they can occur anywhere
- Infections from wounds that don't heal
