Woke up this morning and one of the "sores" had burst or something and it looks like is spreading something up my skin. Sorry for the gross picture but this has been going on over a week, Three docs gave me different diagnosis and treatments and it's getting worse, not better. I am typically a very health person; this is new and scary for me. I see the Doc (again) this afternoon, I hope this time is the last.

I'm not a doctor but that ain't good Paul. You may need to get persistent to get a diagnosis. I wouldn't leave the doctors office without some sort of treatment plan. I'd head to the ER If gets any worse. Feel better my friend.

Go to a dermatologist asap or an ER where they may have a derm consult

Rolex addict · 15 December 2016, 05:48 AM

DAMN!!!! I was going to make an Anna joke, but that looks bad. Are they sure that's shingles and not a spider bite or something? You need to get to a REAL doctor and not some quack in a box.

Jocke · 15 December 2016, 05:55 AM

I'm sorry my friend I hope you will get it fixed ASAP.

Chewbacca · 15 December 2016, 06:03 AM

paulie, just eeewe!

get that checked asap.

add generous amounts of polysporin and wrap it until a doc offers paid advice.

good luck!

RichM · 15 December 2016, 06:04 AM

Head to the ER friend. That don't look like poison ivy.

TheVTCGuy · 15 December 2016, 06:12 AM

Thanks everyone, and I apologize for airing my dirty laundry here on the forum, I know a lot of you have serious medical conditions and never complain.

This is just a bit scary as I am normally very healthy and a quick healer, I see the doc in a couple hours and expect a dermatologist consult right after that. Hopefully some meds or chanting or herbs or something will get it on the road to mend. Thanks again,

P.S. Jocke, Anna and I have discussed it... if I don't pull through, we want you to have my Rolex.

Start by pulling the plug on Anna, I'm not a doctor but that looks like a rubber infection.

you do realize an 'is it safe to wear' thread must be started by you now.

Johny · 15 December 2016, 06:23 AM

good luck with it at the docs Paul.

Porter · 15 December 2016, 06:48 AM

Hi Paul! A friend of mine suffered something similar (look similar to me) and finally was a fungus very aggressive just under the skin. Please go to a specialist and find out the problem ASAP!
Good luck! Hope you will recover soon.

GB-man · 15 December 2016, 08:38 AM

Hope it's sorted for you quickly Paul! Ouch. I have found these days you have to be persistent with doctors etc. They are all overworked...overbooked etc.

2ltdjorn · 15 December 2016, 09:03 AM

Looks like dermatitis with superimposed impetigo infection

You definitely want to see a dermatologist.
Good luck.

drgoro · 15 December 2016, 09:23 AM

Doesn't look good. Check it out, especially if you're diabetic.

Rock · 15 December 2016, 09:32 AM

Paul, best wishes for an immediate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Good that you can share your concerns with us.
I guess the dog that bit you died a horrible death.

Showed my neighbor he said its staph.

DJ TT 2002 · 15 December 2016, 09:43 AM

That most recent picture looks like a cellulitis and must be addressed ASAP.
IV antibiotics may be indicated now.
This is much different than your first posting.
PM me at any time for questions.
Yes, I am a physician
Best of luck!

gregmoeck · 15 December 2016, 09:43 AM

Looks like on of those brown recluse spider bites, I would go to ER
