What Causes Itchy, Discolored, Painful Cysts On Body With Swollen Throat Glands?
Hello, I have these cysts that first started to appear on my abdomen, and breast at first (about 2+years ago) thought it was a spider bite it grew in size and was very itchy and turned that part of my skin a purple color also the skin began to peel away at the cite. I went to my PCP and he referred me to a breast specialist due to its location, they removed it and it of course healed. Since the. I have had several more in my armpits they hurt bad some may pop with puss and others won t just are very painful. They sometimes go away but often leave a scar. My sister is a oncology nurse and laughingly asked me what is wrong with you, do you have lymphoma? Which of course scared me. I have achyness today and my glands in my throat are swollen and I have three bumps farley small in one armpit and a large one like a nickel in my other armpit which all are very painful and ITCH terribly. There are two more small ones that feel like a bruse on my abdomen. Does this sound alarming or of concern ?? My sister really worried me and every time I google my symptoms either HIV or NHL comes up. I also have Fibromyalgia and did read this can occur from that too. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
