It comes about twice a year. First in 2012 with an intense itch for 3 days. Each recurrence has gradually worsened. Now I can see the suspects but idk what it is.
I have a short video if I may.
I've used Baiting, antibiotic pills and cream, every thing else over the counter. This episode has lasted 3 weeks so far. I could share what I think but I'd rather wait to see what you diagnose

I'm dieing here. Yes I feel them, move, sting burn

Please upload images

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Most of the images you have uploaded are close-ups.

A skin diagnosis is made based on the lesion, its surrounding skin appearance, presence of pigmentation abnormalities if any and discharge if any.

Please upload some more images like this 0000_095909.jpg

Please bear with me, I shall give my best diagnosis.

Waiting for your response,

The pigmentoss was due to the first occurrence. I've put on that scabies lotion, just to try again, and I'm going out of my mind with itching. Can it be them. Can they go dormant on a body to arise again at another time.

I took alot of close ups because a few Dr's were saying there was nothing there. 2 urgent cares and 3 Dr's. They won't take time but only glance over. I've cried but seemed to make it worse for me. Last time was January and they never quite cleared upand now they are kicking my ass.

Brief Answer:
Infected Eczema

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the images.

I have thoroughly gone through the images you have sent.

My diagnosis based on its appearance, distribution and symptoms is Eczema with super added infection.

I recommend you to apply CLONATE F cream twice daily to bring down the inflammation in the lesion.

Important treatment to get rid of the lesions is by treating the super added infection with suitable antibiotics. I would suggest you to get a culture sensitivity test of a swab swipe from the lesions. This test will isolate, grow the bacteria in question and also identify which antibiotics is best suitable in killing the same. Taking a course of such antibiotics will completely remove the bacteria and allow the rashes to heal with the help of Clonate F.

For itching you can take Tab Levocet 5mg in the night after food for not more than a week continuously.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.

I appreciate your time. I'm sorry to be a pest.
Can I ask another question? Lately, I'm so tired and I feel like I'm on a boat at times. Can this be in common and are you speaking oof MRSA?

Answered by Dr. Raju A.T (16 hours later)

Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

MRSA produces very less systemic symptoms.

Need not worry. It cant be MRSA infection based on the appearance.
