Hi, about 10 months ago I got a random spot on my bum, it slowly got an area of swelling around it and.. I can't even explain the pain! It popped by itself and I thought that was that. Then others appeared. I think the worst, I had 5 at the same time. They would bleed and watery pus would come out and hurt so much I couldn't even sit down. I went to my doctor, he said it was a cyst and a course of antibiotics cleared it up but it wasn't long before they were back again!! ANOTHER course of antibiotics got rid of them and thankfully, I haven't really suffered with them since. A few months back, I noticed 2 on my tummy.. not as painful but looked like the same kinda thing. They disappeared and then another appeared just above my pubic line, this one was blistery and not really painful but sore to touch. I then got one on my upper arm and the area of swelling was HUGE.. there was blood and yellow pus literally pouring from it, but it healed. And now finally, I have one in my elbow joint kind of.. was painful for a few days and is now just there. I can feel a hard lump underneath it.
Each one has left a bruised look where the area of swelling was.
Does ANYONE have a clue what this could be? I'm currently in between doctors as I've just moved address and so can't make an appointment, but if it's something to be worried about, I'll go to the hospital.
Does it sound like some kind of blood infection?
HI, I would go to the e.r and ask for a test for staph, and m.r.s.a, these are serious conditions and are treatable, but what you are describing sounds like staph, and yes it is very painful, and they get huge. most times you get very weak, with staph infection, so how are you feeling physically? remember to ask about staph, also m.r.s.a , this may be something to do with your diet, also or as simple as ingrown hair. I hope this was some what of a help. Please go back to the doctor get a second opinion until you get to the bottom of what is going on, Hope all goes well with you
