Hi,

Sorry to hear about your problem. I can understand if may be so frustrating if it had gone for so long.

However, one important point is that common infection are very unlikely to last for 18 months. I would strongly recommend that we should look for other causes.

This may be some other skin condition like pyoderma gangrenosum, fistula, skin TB, or uncommonly skin cancer.

So I would suggest it must be now investigated, specially to take a biopsy from it.

Your Dr may be trying to help you but sometimes disease may be more complex to treat.

Still if your are not satisfied you can take opinion from some other doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Mahboob Ur Rahman , General & Family Physician
