Dizziness, Tiredness, Sore Throat, Bumps On Legs, Got Pus And Blood On Popping. Advice?
I feel dizzy and tired, i have small bumps on my lets, they look like tiny pimples , one is on my right calf , the other is on the inside upper right calf, and there was a very large bump on my inside upper thigh. and i cleaned a needle with alcahol and popped the bump, and i got this nasty pussy/bloody stuff comming out. the area feels like there was a ring of puss around it. i got most of the puss out. and it now looks better, and more healed. i also have a sore throat . but i don t think that i am running a fever

Dear patient,
By your description it sounds that the lesions may be acneiform in nature, and thus may represent folliculitis given the location; some of those lesions can be bigger and generate furuncules (small abcess with pus). They may or not be related to your sore throat; for example, Strep is a bacteria that can give both sore throat and skin lesions. The best course of action is for your to be seen. probably in Express Care, to determine if you need antibiotics or not.
Yours truly,
