Painful Sore Lumps On Legs Getting Larger. Diagnosed With Sjogrens. Reasons ?

Hi I have been diagnoised with Sjogrens and the past two days I have develped very sore lumps on my legs. They are getting larger this afternoon and are painful to touch. They seem to be cemetrical to each other. They are very firm and quite sore to touch. They are getting red in appearance. They are not bug bites. Do you know what they are?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query.

I dont think these bumps are related to sjogrens.

You might have developed furuncles.

These are deep bacterial infections.

Treatment is with antibiotics but the choice of antibiotics should be based on culture and sensitivity tests.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
