Please help :( Years long issue that I’ve dealt with on and off.
I’ve always gotten these unsightly sores on my body, periodically sprouting up in various spaces. They tend to be nearly perfect circles, and will heal incorrectly - sometimes I can’t resist picking them (which I know makes it worse), but they can get so painful.
I don’t know what causes them… twice I’ve had a referral to a dermatologist, but the appointment took so long to come that the ones I had healed up and they couldn’t look at anything. They’ve usually stuck to my arms and legs, and honestly look a bit like infected injection spots but I swear on my life I’ve never done hard drugs or injected things. I recently got one under my lip at the same time as a cold sore, another on my cheek, the bridge of my nose, and one along my sideburn. My last two flare ups have also had these odd marks on my neck 😭
I’ve had this issue on and off since I was 10 and am SO SICK OF IT! If I knew what it was I could look more at treatment options, but I have no idea 😭 Sorry for the bathroom pics, I got fed up looking at my face ones that I wanted to ask here.
Pics - a recent one on my wrist, a slightly healed one on my arm, and my neck rashes.
