Blood/Puss/Sebum filled Pimple/Boil on stomach?

Help! · Newbie Joined: 30 Sep 2006 Posts: 1

Hi,

I was hoping for a little advice before I go to a dermatologist. Basically, on my stomach there are three marks. Two of them are dark red, very tender, are thin and very close to the surface of the skin and are filled with blood. Somewhat similar to a blister. The other, however, seems to be further into the skin, is firm, not sensitive, and if I apply pressure a water like substance, and a liquid similar to puss or sebum comes out.

Before I had these on my stomach, I had something similar happen on my inner thighs, but since Ive switched jobs and sit at a desk more than I run around/stand, the problems with my thighs have nearly vanished, and now I have the ones on my stomach appear.

Im also a bit over weight, and the bumps appear where my stomach sits on my lap. The closest thing that I can think of it being is Folliculitis.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I've had the same thing happpen about 3 inches below my navel, but not near my private regions.

It was a blood filled pimple, which happenned after which i spent a night out not wearing any underwear but two pants that were made of plasticy material (they weren't cotton, probably composite like track pants).

I was running for a while at the beach and i noticed the day after something developed at the region which the elastic that holds the pants up rubbed against the spot, and it was the pimple.

I think the previous person was right, generally friction causes that, and i know it is advised not to pinch it as it might spread the infection to other tissues, its better to lance it by a doctor, because he will know when its the appropriate time (well developed)

it is caused by a common bacterial infection, thru entering of the sweat glands and if in its early developing stages an antibacterial medication for this common bacteria (staphyloccus) can be prescribed.

this is generally nothing to worry about as these infections causing pimples/boils are very common and are usually nothing serious.
the best thing would be to get a doctor to advise you something about it.

I was just googling this subject and found your situation.
I woke up with the same thing, probably the size of the bed of my pinky nail. It also developed overnight, right where my elastic band of my underwear sit. My husband said "you have to get that out of there and just pop it!" I was dumb enough to listen to him and let him pop it! OUCH!
I did go to the dr. that day she prescribed the z pack to me (allergy to pennicylin) and my last day of that is tomorrow. My neighbor told me about an old remedy called "black salve" that draws anything unhealthy (splinters, on pimples on the body...) it's tech. term is Ichthammol ointment. I used it for 3 days along with the z pack. It did just as she said! It pussed for 3 days and is almost flat now. My only problem is that I didn't use this first. I already had a hole there from my husband, so it hurt badly, but it worked. forewarning IT SMELLS! I dabbed it on with a sterile gauze pad then used sensitive tape to just tape that pad to my skin. Good luck!

If there are other symptoms such as rashes or red bumps, then it might be a case of skin cancer. I also have a pimple with puss and blood coming out from it and I also am overwieht, meaning this might be caused due to being overwieght. I would advise consulting your doctor or a dermatoligist. Also, rersearch for other symptoms of skin cancer and see whether you could relate to any of them.

my guess based on what i read would be Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)
It's more common in woman then men, and more common in overweight people (tho it is not caused by being overweight, or a lack of cleanliness)
It's actually thought to be a lot more common then you might think, it's just often misdiagnosed, or worse yet, many people don't seek treatment because they find it embarrassing.
