Hard bumpy skin
Posted , 3 users are following.
About five weeks ago i noticed a strange lumpy bump on back. It was very hard, itchy and the skin pores could clearly been seen enlarged and swollen. It went away about three or four days later
but left like a black patch. then days later another came out again on my arm and same thing , it went away couple of days but left faint black patch. Since then i have had lots of different sizes of this hard lumpy raised bumps come out of different parts of my arm, back, neck, thigh.
About two weeks ago, my left arm started to swell up and i went to my doctor who referred me to hospital immediately. I was given some antibiotics and steroids to use for about 7 days and this cleared the lumpy bumps and also my arm got healed.
Immediately i completed the dosage of medcines i was given, i noticed the hard lump came back and has now not gone away but now it is spreading and covering a wider area on my back. About 1/4 of
my back is now affected. It seems to moving from one part of my back to the other part which is not infected. It leaves a black patch on the areas here it has been on my back and move to areas where it has not been. i have been to my doctors three times, the A& E twice and they cant
explain what it is, I have been referred to see the dermatologist but i cant get an appointment till the 5th of August. I feel by then this infection could have destroyed all my skin, or start to infect my organs. Initially i thought it was a food allergy reaction but i cant explain where this came from. I have lots of pictures and videos available. I am really scared as i dont know what this is.
Please help me.

If they gave you antibiotics that didnt get rid of it, it might be an antibiotic resistant bacteria - in which case I would think they would have admitted you to the hospital.
