Hi all

Its been there more than two weeks started as small pimple looking thing and got bigger. Its weeping clear yellow substance. Not itchy or painful.

At first i put Antibiotic cream which didn't help, then i put some antifungal cream which also didn't help. I went to a doctor and she gave me antibiotic pills, which gave me allergic reaction (I looked like it got a little bit better after these pills) but i will not try it again my lips got swollen, eyes red etc.

She called even some other doc and called dermatologist to ask what it can be but for now they just took swab test and said will call me to tell results but looks like they having problems finding out what it is. Maybe someone had touch with something similar and know what it is here?image

Thanks for help !

      Skin problems can be a symptom, you may have prediabetes which a glucose tolerance test would be able to determine. So you may not have full diabetes, but you could have the gene which would make you more prone to skin problems.

    It does look like a bacterial infection. It may be a flesh eating one. Have you been in or around any unusual water sources?

    You've had for 2 weeks and I think flesh eating bacteria move fast so might not be that.

    This is a serious condition. The pus means it is an infection that your body is trying to fight off. You should seek doctor help as soon as you can.
