Embarrassed to ask however; concerns My skin. For some time now I get watch starts of?

very itchuy skin then little raised spots which then over the course of a month or so develops into a mole that looks like a wart on my skin. These are mostly confined to the upper part of my body. I have been to my Gp who seemed shrug it off without explanation and gave me coisterzone cream to rub it but this has not effect and does not stop the the cycle of these wart like oerruptions on my skin from appearing. Is it possible that I have viral infection in my blood stream? If so could it be cured with the appropriate treatment?





Embarrassed to try on bras in a shop in case I pass this on to other people.





Can anyone help please.... desparation calls for desparate measures.

If the first treatment a doctor prescribes does not work, you are perfectly entitled to go back and ask again. Doctors will go with the most common treatment first, but they expect you to come back if that is not working for you - they are not mindreaders!





Also, if he is not giving you enough explanation, ask - again, they are not mindreaders, and given they are so busy, sometimes they forget to fully explain.
Reply:Go to a dermatologist, it could be a lot of stuff, they will diagnose it. Do not hesitate.
Reply:You need to tell your GP to refer you to a dermatologist. What GPs know about skin you can write on the back of a stamp.
Reply:I agree, go back to your Doctor, say that you are concerned about the rash and you would like to be referred to the dermatologist. They shouldnt put up a fight about it, but if they do, go to a different GP!


It could be hives, my boss had them and it sounds similar. It doesnt sound like it would be contageous, but good to be cautious.


Go to your doctor! I hope it gets better for you :)
Reply:I believe that you may have a condition called Hidradenitis Supprativa. It is a condition of re-occurring boils/ cysts/abscesses , that are often misdiagnosed as ingrown hairs, herpes, being unclean and folliculitis. This is a newly diagnosed skin condition , but there is a lot of info out there.


Here is a link :

If this sounds like it might be you, READ it, PRINT it out, and TAKE it to your DOC.


Its better to try to start treatment soon, it can spread over the body if left untreated. These boils can become quite large and painful. Sometimes even lasting for weeks or months , do not attempt to POP them they can then tunnel under your skin and spread all over the body. Most common areas are armpits, groin, binkni line, inner legs, and intimate places and basically anywhere that sweats and rub against clothing. Stress is a big inducer.





There is some support groups at MSN , and yahoo, and I am open for questions!


I have had this for 8 years, I was misdiagnosed for a LONG time, It was very embarrassing, painful and scary. I am just trying to help out so you don’t have to wait as long as I did.
