Hello, very worried about skin problem
have had since january! Not getting any
better. Have been tested for genital
herpes, mrsa, and a few other skin
conditions, all of which results have been
negative; to the doctor 3-4 times and they
only give me antibiotic which makes
condition better for short while then it
comes back. I am seeing dermatologist
soon hopefully about this. I don't
understand what it is or the cause of it,
or how to rid of it.
Symptoms are as such: starts as a bad
itch, then becomes painful sore, grows
firm and red, then after up to a week can
break open and release fluid. After the
fluid is gone from inside, the sore
sometimes goes away completely and leaves
a bruise. Other times, the sore still
stays and is painful. Once one sore goes
away, usually another comes in not much
time after. I don't understand it, but
have been dealing w/it since january, and
it has become very painful to point at
which it hurts to sleep, or for anything
to rub against the sores in the least!
The sores occur on my thighs and groin.
I just need an answer, and it worries me
so much as to what it might be. It seems
to have gotten worse in this hot weather.
I experienced less of the sores over the
winter!
I run 100-110 miles per week, so sometimes
doctors tell me it may have something to
do w/sweating or shaving. But have never
experienced until january, one of the
coldest months of the year, if not the
coldest!
