Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions.
It seems you are having recurrent furuncles, a bacterial infection of hair follicles but its difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination.
Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way.
You can mail pictures to YYYY@YYYY

Thanks
Dr Hardik Pitroda
